Thanks Dan, will be interesting to see who the council gets to pick them up. While the Durham contracts could go to an independent or GNE or ANE respectively, the Bishop Auckland services 9, 81/89, 104, 35A and Ferryhill/Spennymoor services 111/113/115 are a bit more awkward. There's also the 108/109 and 112 not mentioned there. Likewise I wonder what will happen with the 16 in Darlington.
The fact that GCT lost the 104 makes me think they've focused on the Durham services, most likely given it's a shorter distance for them. Other than Weardale, or unless GCT do fancy going south of Durham I can't really think who else would want those services. Really you'd have been better with Hodgsons getting the 84/85/95/96 and Weardale picking up the Bishop/Ferryhill/Spennymoor services
