Noticed there is Several Nexus Threads for different things, but weren't suitable for the following post as it has no relation to those topics, might worth merging all those Threads into this one.
Anyway whilst briefly in Jarrow Yesterday I spotted Nexus have Invested in some New Bus Infrastructure Cleaning Vans, in the form of the New Ford Transits, also note in the Photo of (CX14 RXL) that it is parked on Double Yellow Lines, what was even more baffling was on opposite side of the Road there was plenty of Parking Space and it isn't Doubled Yellow Lined, or Alternatively why did the Driver not Park in the Car Park for Home Bargins, Rather than Parking where they did and receiving a Fine.

(18 Sep 2014, 8:43 pm)AdamY I imagine the contractors will have some sort of special dispensation applied which allows their vehicles to park in bus stations (or stops) in order to allow the necessary maintenance to take place.

(18 Sep 2014, 8:45 pm)aureolin Probably stipulated by Nexus, as I recall a previous contractor (possibly Interserve?) having Nexus logos on their fleet too.

(18 Sep 2014, 8:50 pm)AdamY It might have been DBL (Dowell Brothers) or even both.
Security companies (such as G4S, Security Plus, Loomis etc.,) also have similar arrangements with local authorities and business owners. This is why you see them parked up in pedestrianised or 'bus-only' areas like the Monument.

Whether some are relevant to the issues relating to low rail adhesion or not, Nexus have put tenders out for a range of items.
There are 17(?) lots included in those tenders, are training for chainsaw use and track welding.
Other tenders include lift and escalator maintenance.
Presumably staff will be trained internally to carry out maintenance and tasks going forward, rather than staff brought by private contractors, carrying out work on Nexus behalf.

(12 Nov 2014, 9:26 am)Michael Always thought having 2 shelters was daft, least its longish, sometimes, the amount of people which get on their can be high, especially if they passing through the city center to other places... i:e services 3,4,35 etcThey've put on another one of those long shelters to extend it - so now it's quite a long bus shelter!
I was at the wheatsheaf a few weeks ago and the que for the bus was massive
