Dropped my OH off at Heworth for her to get it at half one as she lives in Washington. I took a photo of it coming out and it looked quite busy.

I'm guessing they're doing it as a free bus, as his original idea was to run it to take fares. Seems like a good solution, hopefully they can keep the funding up.

Why? It's a local service connecting the various villages and estates to local facilities situated within the Houghton/Hetton area, for those who may rely on the bus for that reason. Essentially performing the function of a taxibus/DRT.

Seems like the managing director of this company is a bit questionable to say the least https://hopenothate.org.uk/2021/04/30/me...terrorist/

You thinking about a different City Transport?
https://find-and-update.company-informat...9/officers

For clarity:
There's two City Transports come up on Google, both registered in Newcastle - the one I linked and another one which has a Lloyd Jackson listed as a director. I have a friend who's supposed to be starting at City Transport soon and he keeps mentioning a guy called John or Jon who runs it - the only John/Jon listed works for the one I linked.

No. Looks like the same person to me https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor...070816.amp

Okay, to be specific ‘commercial director’ but still heavily involved nevertheless.

Not just a far right [insert pejorative term here] but a bloody nuisance with FOI requests, too, by the look of it.

Awful. There's a service I'll not be using then.
