Subsidised Routes

[Andreos1]

I really hope there not getting paid for this? All the timetables should have a symbol if any of the journey is subsidised in any part. Used to happen a few year ago why not now?

The clawback from GNE should be huge.

No 28b on that list?

TBH i surprised more of the evening stuff isnt on there. I've been getting the 27 after 8pm from outside the spoons in Gateshead ( handy) and there's never been more tha half dozen on. Same as x66 on evening a couple at most heading there and not many more heading back!

They're getting money for something on all of them, what though is unknown could be just 1 early run etc.

Really? I'm struggling of thinking of routes that aren't on there. 90% of the routes have to be there. The general idea though is you make money during the day, then they offset the evening services. Don't believe many actually make money but if you use the bus 10 times a week and 2 times is in the evening, cut them then they'd not use it all - that's the idea behind it.

Assume the 28B is just part of the 28/29 tender. The numbers were a bit off for the Durham ones, X20 still mentioned for Langley Park for example.

It would be interesting to see passenger numbers v investment,

I can’t see the TaxiBuses being anything but a massive drain

Agreed there, the £800 a day on the W1/W2 which cart around fresh air most the time must be up there aswell.

I reckon you could just have a taxi on demand for the TB services and still save a fortune. Like the old dial a ride
