CToG are set to take the contracts for 11/19/41/42/42A back on Sunday 17th May.  They also have the required number of drivers available to operate this work.

Huge leap going from very few to operating all of the March and May contract awards. Good luck!

To not operate the North Tyneside contracts for the first two months of the contract award is pretty serious and I am struggling to think of a reason that would be justified to Nexus, if it was anything besides driver availability as a result of the pandemic. That is very much a temporary thing which is out of the hands of the company (so excusable in the current climate). Interesting if that is not the case!

Under normal circumstances the contract would have to be formally forfeited permanently and re-tendered, rather than operated by the previous contract operator as a goodwill gesture until the new operator is “ready”.
