Nexus Tenders | Newcastle & North Tyneside - March 2022
Nexus Tenders | Newcastle & North Tyneside - March 2022
Moderator note:
Thread split from September 2021 Nexus tenders thread, given that this discussion is regarding March 2022 tenders.
Inkeeping with paragraph 1.8 in the contract document - the contents of the tenders have been marked as 'private and confidential' and it is stated that the details of the tender document are communicated on an 'in confidence basis to those who have legitimate need to know'.
To protect this website, the forum and its members, I have removed specific details of which services are being tendered. Generic posts which do not include specific details of the services being tendered, or refer to details in the public domain, may continue to be discussed.
If there were a hypothetical service which has been suggested in the past, such as a hypothetical service which combines elements of a current service between Westerhope and Kingston Park, and a service with operates beyond Kingston Park towards the East End of Newcastle via places on the western boundary of North Tyneside, would that be permissible as a topic of discussion?
Such a service has been hypothesised at the bottom of this post here: https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=1831&pid=269778#pid269778
I note that Phoenix have cancelled their registration for the M71, so presumably that is involved in the tenders

I hope Phoenix get something as they are losing the M71. Surprised Tesco Car Park will still be covered by the replacement service.
Are the Northumberland contracts being awarded with effect from March too? Just wondered if the 74, 131 and 808 are safe.

Surprised the full 1 evening journey's are going, thought they would of cut the frequency.
If its massive cuts like this, then people will just move to cars.

(29 Jan 2022, 11:28 am)Michael Ah right!
So it might not be as bad as people think, just the papers trying to cause panic!

So only seeing the Chronicle article and NOT the actual tenders, I'd suggest the following for the North Shields & Whitley Bay section of the 1.
- Evening 310 extended to Tynemouth, covers Tynemouth Road past Knotts Flats and reduces need for long layover in North Shields.
- Evening 306 extended via number 1 route from Tynemouth Park Hotel to Whitley Bay. Covers the 1 route between Tynemouth & Whitley Bay and reduces long layover in Tynemouth.
If you email about the changes that were put out early December (I think) wi have received this email back
Hello,
Thank you very much for taking the time to participate in Nexus’ consultation regarding the future proposals for a number of our publicly funded bus services.
The feedback received has been very valuable in helping to formulate ideas and considerations for the future network.
Since the consultation was undertaken, we have been notified of a number of changes proposed by bus operators who provide services on a commercial basis.
Nexus is now investigating options to respond to the changes that have been proposed by bus operators.
Thank you again for your participation in the consultation
Commercial Team- Nexus
Im sure i posted this using my phone but when i've some on her this morning its not there? I'd assume i must not have pressed post reply??
On the Facebook group where i used to live they have said its been decided that the 41 and 41a 42 and 42a and 44 and 45 are all been cancelled. Their are also some stagecoach services being effected to. Although I assume this is only the the nexus secured section of these routes that's being effected but that not how some of those on Facebook see it. Isn't doing any bus companies or Nexus any good though!

(11 Feb 2022, 12:24 pm)Adrian Is that the alleged 41, 41a, 42a, 44 and 45?
It'll be interesting to see what the alleged transport authority do, with an alleged tender process and some alleged contracts.
