The new contracts will start on 22nd March 2020 on a one year contract with the option for Nexus to extend contracts by a further year. Vehicles are required to comply with a minimum of Euro 5 specification and capacity is 16 / 23 / 36 depending on the allocated route.

Any news on these contracts?

(05 Jan 2020, 1:33 am)OrangeArrow49 wrote The new operator of the 84/84A from 23rd March is now known to me! Stanley Travel have lost the service unfortunately, as I expected with only Arriva, Gateshead Central Taxis and Go North East being awarded the contracts to start on 23rd March.

13, 32A, 33/33A, 42A, 84/84A in Newcastle (probably others too)
Not sure about North Tyneside
Any timetable change or just operator changes?

(05 Jan 2020, 5:44 pm)Michael wrote Any reason why the 40/41/42/42A contract hasn't been awarded?, staying with GNE?
(05 Jan 2020, 5:45 pm)OrangeArrow49 wrote Thanks, Dan. Are these all changing operator? For example the 32A contract expires 22nd March 2020, is that staying with Gateshead Central Taxis? Who have the contracts been awarded to with effect from 23rd March 2020?

(05 Jan 2020, 5:46 pm)Dan wrote I understand this group of services is being put out to tender again.
Any of the services which weren't listed in my previous post have had their contracts extended.
(05 Jan 2020, 5:47 pm)OrangeArrow49 wrote 42/42A automatically go to GNE, and I guess the 40/41 is the same contract as the 42/42A.
Thanks again, Dan. Why is the 40/41/42/42A going out for tender again?
I know who has got the 84/84A. I also knew the 13 was changing operator, but not sure who to (Arriva?). I expected the 33/33A would change from Go North East (Arriva too?).
