(09 May 2020, 8:13 am)RM2186 The reason for GNE running this service has nothing to do with GCT being unable to run these services or having the capacity. There is another reason that is not for publication in this forum

(10 May 2020, 6:32 am)Dan Huge leap going from very few to operating all of the March and May contract awards. Good luck!
To not operate the North Tyneside contracts for the first two months of the contract award is pretty serious and I am struggling to think of a reason that would be justified to Nexus, if it was anything besides driver availability as a result of the pandemic. That is very much a temporary thing which is out of the hands of the company (so excusable in the current climate). Interesting if that is not the case!
Under normal circumstances the contract would have to be formally forfeited permanently and re-tendered, rather than operated by the previous contract operator as a goodwill gesture until the new operator is “ready”.

(10 May 2020, 11:21 am)Michael No doubt it'll confuse a few people, will GNE passes still be accepted after this crisis is over, like previously.
Any news on passes been accepted on the 39/135/136 etc?

(10 May 2020, 2:21 pm)Tom I'd imagine so - but I don't think most of the GCT drivers are even that bothered if it wasn't the case. Quite a few times I've seen people use Go North East day tickets or week tickets on the 335.

(10 May 2020, 2:27 pm)Michael That's because all operators have agreed to let people use all tickets on their services throughout this crisis (but only on similar routes and in the area the ticket is for)... once that is dropped... will NEXUS allow GNE passes to be used on the 39, 42 etc

I remember something being said about operators having to pay Nexus to allow their tickets on a contract service operated by another company?

(10 May 2020, 4:19 pm)streetdeckfan Wasn't it an agreement between GCT and GNE to allow pre purchased GNE tickets on the services that GCT operate in the evening rather than it going through NEXUS, or at least that's how I understood it

If ticket acceptance isn't in place on the services GCT are taking over next week after the crisis is over, there will be hell on across the board. Especially in Washington all barring one or two services going through the town are GNE

(11 May 2020, 3:53 pm)idiot Well that's because of zero competitionWhatever the reason, if people pay £15 a week for a ticket that currently gets the on any GNE bus anywhere in Washington any time of the day, they're going to resent paying full fare after 7pm going forward.
