National Express Shuttle - GNE6312 - 13 Aug 2021
On bus times I've came across an operator called national express shuttle who operate the evening little coasters and the Sunday & evening 125/136. Anyone got any info on this operator, I'll presume they're operated by NX but has anyone got anymore info such as their fleet.
Here is their bustimes.org page:

There's no such thing.
These are the journeys currently out to tender from Nexus, starting on 5 September. These contracts have not been awarded yet.

All these contracts were on an emergency basis from Nexus due to Gateshead Central Taxis' staff shortage.
Gateshead Central have now formally lost these contracts, with these contracts being put out to tender until the original expiry date (March/May 2022), with a start date of 5 September.

I take it GNE will be running the 39 since the new timetable has all journeys - where as the 19 has the runs secured by Gateshead Central Taxi's highlighted.
