(08 Aug 2014, 2:25 pm)Tom Have we heard anything about the NCC contracts yet?
(08 Aug 2014, 7:35 pm)aureolin I've recently requested similar info from NCC (and other councils), as I've provided for Nexus. I'll hopefully have that in a few weeks time, which will let us look ahead at what's coming up.

(08 Aug 2014, 7:46 pm)Tom They start 1st September if nothing has changed.
I'd like to see GNE take on the 880 - a new ticket similar to the AD122/X85 ticket could be introduced, for example X85 + 880 ticket £7.20 - Should also boost passenger numbers on the X85 too.
If I remember correctly, service 74 (Newcastle-Matfen-Hexham), 79 (Ponteland-Morpeth), 683 (Hexham-Newbrough), 688 (Hexham-Allendale), 689 (Hexham-Consett), 880 (Hexham-Bellingham-Kielder Castle), 882 (Colwell-Hexham) and other various stuff.
I'd like to see GNE retain the 688 and 689, and possibly the 74 as all seem to get decent passenger numbers at times (even the 689, yes!).

Gateshead Council's latest budget proposal plans for the withdrawal of funding to Quaylink from the next tender (though it would need to reach agreement with Newcastle over this)
It states Gateshead College is well served and services could be extended to the Baltic (I assume the 93/94)
The impact statement notes the main concern is late night provision to the Quayside and the effect on hotels and potential development

(08 Nov 2014, 3:28 pm)tyresmoke Nexus have very recently put a tender out for the Quaylink service so this is an interesting developmentIt can only be a short tender surely? Two year deal max I would have thought, since they'll be looking to tie it in with QCS after that...
Wasn't to sure where to put this.
Was at the MetroCentre rather briefly This Afternoon around 3ish, and Ray Parnaby and 2 other Enthusiasts were having a bit of a chit chat, so I went over and said hello, and according to one of those other 2 Enthusiasts (don't know his name) apparently Gateshead Central Taxis have put a Bid in for the Quaylink Contract.
