Bustimes.org have the NX times for all the routes scheduled to return up to August and I've noticed none of GNE's contracts up there have GNE dropped out of their NX contracts? If so Why?

2 Lothian B9s currently at riverside depot on route to ensignbus from looking at them the seats are all loose

So a question that's been on my mind for a while now. What is allocated to these routes

306 Newcastle to Whitley Bay 
53 Cramlington to North Shields 
57A Cramlington to Whitley Bay 
57 Ashington to Whitley Bay 
X8 Blyth to Newcastle 
X7 Blyth to Newcastle 
52 Newcastle to Cramlington/Ashington 
54 Newcastle to Whitley Bay 

Just wondering as I have never seen a set allocation to these routes. I know a while ago the 52/54 were allocated to Volvo B10BLE Alexander ALX300 so was the 53 as well 

The 306 had the Max Brand Decker's and VDL but that's all I know

Looks like Coaster 6065 had a crash today whilst on the 1A at the Junction of Tynemouth Road and Tanners Bank (Between Tynemouth and North Shields) around 1pm today.

Nexus website showing that the 553 will be operated by Gateshead Central Taxis on a morning run and an Evening run. The 6 will.be fully ran by Gateshead Central Taxis. The 552 will be fully ran by Gateshead Central Taxis. This can be seen on the nexus timetable changes

Arriva still running the 553 but GCT have a morning run and an evening run
