With the recent bus service changes today by GCT. Service 553 cannot serve the Freeman Hospital Grounds. As they have been told not to

Arriva have a specific contract with the NHS to run the 553 into the grounds but GCT don't
Noted this evening that three journeys out of Doxford Park did not operate:
- 17:11 37 to The Galleries
- 17:15 592 to Roker
- 17:15 593 to Pallion
I hope GCT's expansion and award of the contract to operate service 6 has not come at the detriment of its other contracts!

Gct are on a thin brach with Nexus and VOSA they have been warned many times. Missing service buses along other. Wouldn't be surprised they get shut down if anymore stuff happens

(31 Mar 2021, 12:55 pm)Adrian According to the Dft website, they should be providing timetable, location and basic fare data by now: https://publish.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/guid...uirements/Yeah there's quite a few still not showing location data on tracking websites. It's not hard to do really, albeit there is a financial burden, but as it's a legal requirement then it falls into the same category as other things you should be spending on. Plus it comes in useful for passengers, after all!
However, nowt but fresh air when you have a look under Central Taxis Gateshead on the BODS website: https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/avl/?q=&organisation=551&status=&submitform=submit&ordering=-modified

At 15:25 ( Whitley Bay Metro) it drops out, then operates 552.Saw an MMC at Gosforth yesterday when I was on the X30 but didn't see the route anyone know wgar ot would be, looked like it was heading towards the freeman.
SG19HOA operates W1 from 07:30-08:53, then operates service 6, which then drops onto W1 at 15:30 until 18:25.
THIS ARRANGEMENT IS AGREED WITH NEXUS, as they wanted a larger bus on 552.
553 06:53 from Wallsend is operated by YX20OCM, then onto W1A at 07:35.
553 16:46 from Freeman Hospital is operated by a Merc Strata off 84/84A.
