GNE have gained the 792? Any news on the 794? Seriously, A-line have lost all of the Nexus work and gained nothing this September?
92 I know is JH. 151 might be GNE with the 792. What about the 124, 134, 680, 933 and 960?

I know they cancelled the morning service, but I'm not sure if the afternoon 151 is part of the 792 contract or not. Have you seen the 792 info? Looked but haven't found anything. A-line have operated the 792 since 2019.
Does anyone know what is happening with the A-line fleet if they aren't running anything from September?

Well if you mean what I think you mean, then I know and understand why you don't want to go into details. But I don't know if that is what you mean. They have a nice fleet, what is happening with their buses? All for sale eventually?

Nothing untoward - they have lost the Miscellaneous Works contracts with Nexus because other operators offered cheaper prices than A-line.

The JH Scholars at Harton Academy in Shields seem to be taking some interesting routes for the 826/827 service. I definitely wouldn't be trying to get down my narrow street in a double decker. Also taking a bus full of kids in the opposite direction that it should be. Hopefully just teething issues.
