As reliable information as i have had at the time actually. Like everything posted by everyone on here is all just pure speculation. Nobody has any 100% reliable information indeed you here one thing one week and something totally different another week. I don't tend to post every bit of information i here until "A" i've heard it from a few reliable people and "B" i deem it possible that it will happen, then i may post it.
The swing bridge 53/54 subject was heard about in the same discussions as the electric buses on the 33 all be it one of them and that happened. If you want to here about all of the things i've heard without having time or indeed the interest to find out more about them then try these:
GNE doing short National Express runs to compete with the trains between Newcastle and Edinburgh using redundant Nat Ex coaches.
685 run transferring to Hexham depot and GNE running it on tacho instead of Stagecoach and/or Arriva
Mercs going end of last year (didn't happen knew it wouldn't) and Scania single decks being kept that the Scania can be made Euro6 whereas mercs carn't.
x9 will never come back
Chester is going to close at some point with all routes passing through Gateshead going to Riverside, the rest to Washington.
GNE may try and get some of Arriva routes on a permanent basis as Arriva are not in a good position at all at the moment.
As to how many of the above if any will happen i've no idea, is the info accurate no idea, who knows?
I expect everything you've ever posted in 100% accurate all the time. Even the management keep changing their mind as to whats going on with various different subjects due to the ongoing climate so how do you expect a load of bus spotters to know whats going to happening with bus companies. I know some people think that their information is somehow superior because its came from a good source but to be honest some of the things they think they know, way way way of the mark. Not their fault no, they are just posting what they been told however inaccurate it may be as they don't know any better neither does anyone.
