(28 Mar 2017, 6:50 pm)Michael wrote Oh cool, be weird seeing "Go North East" run around Barnes etc... i wonder if Stagecoach will decide to run it commercially or part-commercial, be interesting to see what happens.
The 8, will probables be a Solo, if Stagecoach decide not to run it commercially or part-commercial.
(29 Mar 2017, 5:04 am)Michael wrote The only time the Go North East 8 will cross routes with the contract 8 is on Green Terrence and on Chester road when it's the 8A, which is only a few times, however one of the problems could be that people can't use their Stagecoach Megarider's on the 8 when Go North East start to run it... hopefully they can.
Stagecoach might even decide to run it part commercial or fully commercial yet.

Contract awards for Tyne & Wear School Bus services should have been issued on 10th May 2017.
(25 May 2017, 4:17 pm)Dan wrote They have.
Go North East has lost around 20 Misc Works, awarded a further 5. I think Gateshead Central Taxis have lost a couple, too. Kingsley's and JH Coaches have picked up the most contracts - around 17 each, if I remember rightly.
(11 Jun 2017, 11:13 am)Tom wrote Are Nightingale definitely taking over the R3/4/6? Just GCT have cancelled the 643 but not the R3/4/6 so seems odd.
