(03 Jun 2022, 12:34 pm)Dan This follow’s the news that JH Coaches have lost all their double-deck Nexus Miscellaneous Works contracts, only retaining five single-decks from the batch of 86 contracts available.Why they lost all double deck work. And what would that works contract be. Like scholar
I assume they will keep a small number of the red dual-door Volvo B7s for the Sunderland AFC Park & Ride.

(04 Jun 2022, 8:04 am)busmanT Perhaps JH Coaches put the right tender price in, but other operators put in ones that are, in reality, too low?

It could be possible that they'll be keeping some specifically for Metro replacements.
(04 Jun 2022, 9:30 am)Dan I think that’s the story the independent operators will tell!
In reality, larger operators were always going to be more successful in this round - they already had a large number of Euro 5 buses (which obtained extra quality marks), they already had contactless ticket machines (which most independent operators had to buy), and, importantly, their fuel prices are hedged, and this is therefore reflected in their tender price.
The fact the larger operators’ prices are all broadly similar suggests it is about the right price for them.

It does seem a bit rich, lamenting the economies of running an independent bus company as just one of those unfortunate things, when the past year has demonstrated that both GNE and ANE would have been stuffed without being able to call upon the services of the likes of JH coaches as well as Stanley travel and A-line.
NK54 NVD has also been advertised for sale https://odysseycoachsales.co.uk/listings...-deck-bus/

(08 Jun 2022, 6:27 pm)Andreos1 I've noticed the space used alongside the old AEI Cables site in Birtley is more or less empty now.They are parked at rear of site, I believe due to vandalism
The deckers which were seemingly used for spares seem to be the only things left now.
