(03 Mar 2023, 9:20 pm)RobinHood That postcode is the general (although not exact) location of what was planned to be the new depot, that was cancelled.
I understand the electric infrastructure will instead be built into Blyth

The Department for Transport has confirmed £117.8m in new funding for buses in North East England as part of the National Bus Strategy.
North East Leaders have welcomed the news which backs the formation of a formal partnership between bus operators and councils to deliver major improvements for bus passengers, set out in the North East Bus Service Improvement Plan.

(06 Mar 2023, 8:59 pm)Michael No doubt, £90m for NewcastleEveryone else will get newcastle scraps from the buses which have just been upgraded like always also as someone pointed out the latest electric bus routes have all had their frequency cut.
Scraps for the rest of the North East.
(03 Mar 2023, 10:16 pm)Storx That confirmed? Seems extremely tight the new Blyth depot to have charging equipment around especially when now half the spaces are car parking spaces during the day for drivers.

Project 1: Zero Emission Buses Preparation of the Economic case for project 1 has utilised the DfT Green Buses Model, some assumptions outside of the model have been applied and are set out below. Note financial numbers in the Green Bus Model are inclusive of a 10% risk contingency which have also been included in the financial case numbers.
Key Assumptions:
•Number of replaced vehicles 52, TNE (provided from Operators),Determined by operator’s schedules
•Annual average distance per vehicle, 107,000km, (calculated from operatorfleet schedules provided to TNE)
•Infrastructure maintenance costs (Chargers); 5% of CAPEX, Default ModelValue
•Average cost per electric bus, £367,695 Single Deck, £468,000 DoubleDeck, Supplied by Bus Operators from manufacturers quotes.•Cost of diesel bus, £185,000 Single Deck, £250,000 Double Deck (Suppliedby Bus Operators provided to TNE)
•Battery Replacement Costs, £3,739,707.51 (2032/33) Yr 8, (Supplied by Bus Operators provided to TNE)
•Electricity Costs, Default GBM Value (BEIS Profile)

The second factor relates to semi-conductor shortages which are expected to continue into 2023 following the impact of the global pandemic, shortages are compounded by surging demand due to expanding digitalization, and the increased use of 5G. The order for vehicles associated with project 1 is expected to be placed in early 2023 for delivery in 2024/25, meaning we can potentially avoid these delays; however, this remains uncertain.

Just seen this in the buses magazine for April 2023
Durham Council outline, what they're going to use some of the £163.5m for.
(16 Mar 2023, 8:59 pm)Unber43 I hope Tyne & Wear & Co.Durham come together with some joint ticketing for all operators for like £6"multimodal tickets for various regional zones with a top price if £6.80"
