Spotted this on the GNE page:
Hi Go North East. Is it true Arriva have lost the contract for the evening shift of the 82 bus that goes through Birtley? If so will you be taking over full contract and running the bus through Northside? Last bus up here 7.20 on a night and doesn't run on a Sunday. My work is compromised as I can't work past 7 o clock as have to run for last bus or taxi. Can't do later shifts as can't get home.
GNE reply: Any changes to the 82 service will be announced on our website in advance of it's implementation. Unfortunately I have no further details at this present moment in time, apologies.

From Arriva North East on Facebook:
We will no longer be operating this Nexus contracted service after 21st May. The comments will need to be directed to Nexus. Thanks

Wonder who has won the 82 then... GNE?
