(27 Nov 2015, 4:30 pm)Dan Service 57A (Cramlington - Seaton Delaval - Whitley Bay - North Tyneside General Hospital - North Shields)
Contract Period: 20/03/2016 - 18/03/2017
Currently operated by Arriva North East.
Contractual requirements:
Daily, evenings only.
2x low-floor Euro 4 vehicles with a minimum capacity of 36.
(04 Dec 2015, 4:36 pm)Dan This contract has now been revised to operate from North Shields to Earsdon Village only. The PVR of this service is therefore reduced to one vehicle, and the final journey of the day from Earsdon Village is now 22:26 instead of 23:25 (previously 22:57 from Cramlington).
There are no alterations to vehicle specification, and the contract period remains the same.
This is correct Sharon. The service in the evening is operated under contract and was previously supported jointly by Nexus and Northumberland County Council, but NCC have cut their funding. The service is now only supported in Tyne & Wear. We are continuing with a small number of previously supported journeys on a commercial basis, but the evening service will mostly be discontinued within Northumberland and operate between North Shields and Earsdon only.
