Hopefully if there's some spare Streetlites, they'll replace the Versa's....

It's not as if GoNorthEast are the height of excellence with a crap clapped out fleet, rude drivers and buses breaking down left, right and centre. Guess everyone forgot about the strike aswell.

No major changes (other than the loss of the 335/351/359 contracts - outside of their control to an extent), just timing changes similar to what Stagecoach are doing on the 37/38.

They are beyond atrocious. They are abysmal and it's quite fitting that they are a contractor of NEXUS. They deserve each other
