GNE 85 evening operation
GNE 85 evening operation
(30 May 2020, 8:30 pm)Adrian Just spotted a GCT 85 to Brady Square, tailed by an indiGo Solo also operating the 85.Seem to be a few duplicated runs at the moment. Think all the efforts went into drawing up the new timetables, rotas etc so it was left to depots to sort that out. Hence why there may be a few dupes
Commercial competition?

Sitting at Brady Square tonight
So is it a cock-up, or are Nexus forking out for two operators to run it?
I'd asked earlier if it was commercial, but having said that, I don't think Nexus would be allowed to run a fully secured service alongside an identical commercial route.

(31 May 2020, 8:20 pm)Acky81 Any pics available of the 39 by GCTAny issues so far??And is that not a case of evening journeys always been funded by nexus but the contract keeps changing and at one time GNE (like up until now) had the contract. Or does GNE keep changing their mind about how profitable the journeys are?
This is the third time the 139/140/39 has been given up by go north east on the evenings.

(31 May 2020, 8:30 pm)Drifter60 I mean that is madness; how long ago were lose changes introduced? Wasn’t it start of the month? Do we know which one is ‘correct’? ie. Should the timed runs we’re talking about be GNE or Nexus/GCT? Possibilities of an issue at GNE, GCT or Nexus.

Possibilities of an issue at GNE, GCT or Nexus.Either way Nexus are wasting their money duplicating a commercial service - which I am sure is also against some rule on subsidised services but I am struggling to evidence it.

Chances are GNE may be mistakenly running it due to the current circumstances. Only GCT will be getting paid for it, GNE will get nothing for it
