I notice that Nexus have issued a tender notice for services in North Tyneside and Newcastle, with a start date of March 2023, and a duration of 1 year.

I'm not sure of the route details, but I'm assuming they'll be the same as now. Nexus usually put out consultations if things are changing and I haven't noticed any.

I was sitting on the 29 on the way to the match and was on a single decker street lite ? i think..... as you guess I'm not really into what all the buses are called.... but what i was thinking was this is the same make of bus that i got on the 44 to hazlertigg..... and i though i cant reallt think of any other buses out there at the minute within Northumberland and tyne and wear where 2 of the main companies have bought the same vehicle....

I haven't seen any street decks?? at arriva or SCNE

I dont think SCNE and although I could be wrong have any single decker pulsars??

Also going back in time  busways never bought any DAF optares the Northumbria ( 251,2,3,4,5,6,78) and Go ahaead did but they didnt buy the single deckers scanias that busway bought for the 100 to metro Centre?

And going back further united and northern both bough Leyland vr's but the TWPTE ( busways) didn't??

A thread to mention all metro replacement contracts for 2023

The first one of the new year is on the 21st & 22nd of January between Airport & South Gosforth & South Gosforth to Four Lane Ends. A 900 will run between Airport & Four Lane Ends serving South Gosforth

Two double deckers (7515 and 7554) tracked on the 685 today. Was either tracking actually correct?

I was trying to search for an X66 thread, and previously a X10 thread however when I tried to search X10 it said the character had to be more than 4 characters I wondered if that could be reduced as its easier to find threads about routes rather than creating a bunch of new ones which you could just write on the old thread.

I think GNE needs something bigger for the X66 or increase the frequency the latter they're in no place to do, however every times I've been on it its been rammed, today it was an absolute nightmare, thankfully someone at GNE realised and upgraded them to Deckers (TVT, E400 & G2 06 Plate I think). 

Also GNE must be making bank off the X66 its a £3.80 return (which is quite expensive for a 10 min journey)

Am I missing something, or has the Go North East Enthusiast Area really not been updated since 19 December 2021 ?

An up-to-date fleet/allocation list would be very handy, if anyone has the resources to provide one.

Of course, the list will be out of date very quickly now that the Metro Flow deckers have started moving on to other depots for ordinary service work, but it will still be better than nothing (or Bustimes, as it is sometimes called).

Merry Xmas, everyone.
