RE: Newcastle and North Tyneside Tenders - March 2023

I don't expect the 54 or X46 will change operators, but that's just a gut feeling, and on the basis I can't think who else could operate them.
There is never any way to tell, it is done entirely on a
bidding process.

It is not true, nobody knows yet as the tendering wont be concluded.

The 516 service was not "Handed Back", it was subject to a new contract.
