Newcastle and North Tyneside Tenders - March 2023
(03 Mar 2023, 10:48 pm)Storx Was just thinking about this, does anyone know if the W2 is the new W2 or the old W2 as if this goes ahead then it means there's going to be absolutely no bus service between Sainsbury's and Whitley Bay via Whitley Lodge in an evening.The W2 is staying the exact same
I understand cost cutting etc but this is a massive area to have absolutely nothing beyond 6pm or whatever who has always had an hourly service at least especially if you want people out of cars and there's really no alternative without a long walk.

Sorry but I'm getting lost trying to scroll back through this thread.
Can someone please make a list of what services got awarded to who... Thanks in advance
Services in the public consultation
41/41A cut between Howdon & Hadrian Park (11 people wanted it kept)
51/W2 is the biggest one by far. The 51/W2 had a grand total of 228 responses to the consultation with most of them not wanting the cut.
51 will still be ran by Arriva between Newcastle & Whitley Bay however evening trips will operate between Newcastle & Holystone Park with a different operater
W2 will continue to operate the same route & timetable & operater
84/84A will be withdrawn (7 people objection to the plan)
552/M6 will be withdrawn. 16 response came from the M6 & 1 person from the 552. Local council will talk with nexus to decide on an idea for the people living in Vale House as they call it a transport shopper
K2 will be withdrawn
W1 had 8 responses. 5 were opposed, 2 asked for a route change & 1 was happy with the changes. They can't make the asked change but the W1 will have a different operater
Not in any order but here they are:
51 Haymarket - Whitley Bay: Evening trips to GNE. All other trips are still run by Arriva
Stagecoach: 18, 32/32A, 35, 54 and 317.
Gateshead Central Taxis have retained the 335, 342 and gained the 19 and X46
Phoenix has got the W1
This is all from other contributions to the thread
