(02 Oct 2017, 2:51 pm)Dan Yes, that's correct.
The 209/210 has gone out to tender again - Go North East could put in a cheaper bid and win next time, but unlikely. Doubt the 209/210 carry enough passengers to justify Go North East taking them on commercial. Pity, as it will mean anyone who buys weekly/monthly tickets on these services will lose out.

JSB Travel must have lost the contract for the evening journeys on service 6 between Bishop Auckland and Cockfield, as it's now registered as cancelled on VOSA.
Well out of area, but caught my eye.
Does this useless (to the passenger) piece of information amount to nothing more than First going public on a threat to the council? Give us yer' money or the service gets it?
(01 Oct 2017, 9:14 am)Dan They have lost the contract to operate early morning and evening journeys on service 30 (to Stanley Travel), while the evening-only 704 service has also been cancelled.

(10 Oct 2017, 4:59 am)Dan The contract to operate service 30 has now been awarded to Go North East, with the 704 also re-introduced.
It'll be a miracle if the right operators are operating the correct routes on 29th October, at this rate!

The Eden are continuing to operate the Newton Aycliffe Town Service 17 from the end of October, times are unchanged except there will now be a gap in service for a lunch break, it will now run terminate at Aycliffe Town Centre at 12:41 (from School Aycliffe) and resume at 13:21 with a journey to School Aycliffe.
The Eden will now also operate Newton Aycliffe schools service 879, which presumably interworks with the 17.
Hodgsons will now take over operation of schools service 891 from the Eden (not Scarlet Band as the Durham County Council timetable page states).
Scarlet Band have cancelled the 88 but there's no word on who's got this, although my guess is the Eden considering they seem to be the only one's yet to register any changes or new services on VOSA.

Does anyone know any details on which operators are going to be running the extra Durham Park & Ride services for the Durham Lumiere event between 16-19 November?
This is the only info I can find on the park and rides (plus diversions, stand changes etc) but doesn't say who's running them: http://www.cartogold.co.uk/durham/
