(01 Mar 2023, 10:42 pm)DeltaMan 84/84A is 2
K2 is 1
W1 is 1
So that's 4 saved on NEXUS contracts.
They then need 4 for the 19 and X46. One assumes something bigger than a breadvan for the 19s!
So the 71 takes them to two extra needed. Unless I'm missing something.

(02 Mar 2023, 4:19 pm)Storx Not to mention the TB14, TB22, TB23 and TB29 a month later which are all gone.They've got some longer ones which are used on PR1/PR2 not sure if they were loan or not.
Also the 19 is still tendered as full size buses so unless they get an exclusion like GNE did they need bigger buses than the sort MMC's.

However GNE are always mixing between 11.5m Versa's & Solo's

The 84/84A is 1 bus as the 84/84A don't run at the same time
W1 is 1 bus but has a 84/84A bus on an evening
K2 drops one bus but it still doesn't count for the PVR of the rest.
19 needing 3 buses, 71 needing 2 and X46 needing 1.
If gct have kept the 342/335 then ill be shocked how in the world they plan to run the new services. They are struggling now even running the 82A. Plus I don't think gct have that many drivers

(02 Mar 2023, 6:54 pm)peter The 84 and 84A is a bit of a mystery actually, Nexus have a timetable for an hourly 84A on their website but no evidence of the 84. According to BusTimes the 84 and 84A both run hourly, but according to the vehicles tracking GCT are using one vehicle running every 2 hours on each.Bustimes.org shows it does two each. 84A/84A to 84/84 to 84A/84A
No wonder nobody's using it when there's not an accurate timetable anywhere lol

According to BusTimes the 84 and 84A both run hourly, but according to the vehicles tracking GCT are using one vehicle running every 2 hours on each.It's meant to be hourly on both routes (as timetable on BusTimes shows) with each bus changing from an 84 to an 84A at Newcastle and vice versa and has been for years, chances are, either there's something amiss with the tracking or GCT are not running the service as advertised.

I know Nexus has a requirment of X amount of seats, but do those X amount of seats ever actually get filled.
As I doubt 19 will ever get a QuayCity full. Also what happens say the amount of seats/standing is 40 and the requirment is 45 do the operators have to pay a fine
(02 Mar 2023, 10:22 pm)Dan Gateshead Central’s mini E200s are mincap60 (they have a huge number of standees permitted legally, even if it is completely impractical), so meet the contract requirements.
