Has GNE won these NCC routes or just stepping in Temporarily until the Tender process has been concluded?
How many routes have they received and for where? Is it just the School services or have they got any of the normal service routes also?
Why have GNE loaned coaches from the likes of Stanley Travel and Go-Ahead Oxford? Do they have to use a Coach type bus for these services, could they not use a normal service bus, like they do for school services in other areas?
It would be good to see GNE expand further in the Hexham and West Northumberland areas !
Cheers!
Hexham have gained 5 contracts with the loss of 1 (Haltwhistle - Hexham)
0108 and 0110 Haltwhistle - Haydon Bridge
0135 Matfen to Hexham
0141 Steel to Hexham (Previously ran Whitley Chapel/Hexham via Dotland now runs via Juniper) and
0136 Halton Shield to Hexham via Corbridge.
3 coaches from the training school plus 2 Scanias from Hexham are being prepared to meet contract requirements.
