It was more cost-effective for Nexus to replace the 42 in its current format as an extension of the 335.

This went out to tender, but Go North East were unsuccessful in being awarded it.

Looks like Gateshead Central Taxis will be providing brand new buses on this service, so it’s not all bad!

GCT seem to be getting awarded pretty much every contract these days!

I'm guessing it's because they can put in a lower bid with them having lower overheads, and also offering an arguably 'worse' service in terms of quality (although 'Little Coaster' don't exactly offer the most premium service either!)

(12 Mar 2020, 11:10 am)Tom Because the 335 has replaced it.

Plus the high frequency Stagecoach 22 covers most of the Wallsend to Cobalt section of the 42/42A, so Nexus can't be seen spending public money funding a service over this section.

How many Solo's will be free'd up next weekend when service changes happen in North Tyneside?

Edit:

Wonder if the Coronavirus will lead in to a delay for the Yutongs arriving?

From the February thread:

Dan:

Bit too much going on at the moment to have unnecessary repaints - as soon as the Citaros at Riverside are painted, need to move onto other repaints to coincide with the delivery of the new vehicles for Consett and Washington which will lead to a multitude of buses moving around and getting repainted and rebranded.

Have any of these repaints started?

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Which route are the Yutongs for?

(14 Mar 2020, 9:35 pm)6049 The repaints for the Omnicities on the 50/5 last year, were the two-thirds update of the paintwork. As has already been mentioned, they have been upgraded to Euro 6 but there may be some reallocation in May depending on services changes.

Thanks for the info

The only repaint last week was 628, into Little Coasters livery.

5280 and 5281 are at Saltmeadows at the moment to be repainted.

No. The 11, 19, 41 and 42/42A will still be Little Coasters branded. Don't forget there aren't enough Little Coasters branded at the moment.

3 of the PVR loss from next weekend is as a result of contract loss (W1/W1A and W2) - so from that, 709, 724 & 725 will be the buses re-allocated/withdrawn.

724/725 would probably be overkill at Washington for the 23 though? More likely being used as a float bus across all depots when they're short of a Solo, Deptford/Peterlee would probably make more sense.

I believe it's about 180 miles. Although not sure if that's for the older batteries or the new battery they've upgraded to
