Wonder if GNE will continue to run all of the scholars they do atm
I'd imagine that Go North East will win some new tenders, and lose others.
There seems to have been a trend set over the past few years which has seen a decrease in the number of scholars operated by Go North East, to allow the withdrawal of further non-DDA compliant vehicles (Volvo B10BLE, Volvo Olympian and Dennis Trident). As (in most cases) it's more cost-effective to bin a contract than to acquire a replacement bus to replace a non-DDA vehicle on said contract (new or second-hand), I think it's fairly obvious what will happen again this year...
