Quick glance and I think it said, timetable changes.
The timetables are available on the Nexus website under timetable changes. Journeys run about half an hour later than the current timetable.

Cheers, I didn't think to check the NEXUS site.

Northstar Rising In The North
This morning, the stars quite literally came out at Four Lane Ends Interchange, as Northstar Bus & Coach operated their first-ever journey on the newly awarded Nexus‑contracted 18 service.
Here we see the inaugural departure, worked by 438, which has recently received its personalised plate E26 NST (formerly LX09 BXJ). This vehicle began life with Go‑Ahead London General as DOE40, and now looks resplendent in Northstar's two-tone blue livery.

Can't wait to ride one of them Optare deckers. I only got chance to ride one of the ones with GNE which was 6970, not the best one they had, but I am sure them Northstar ones will be proper quality.

Yes. Go North East got the cabbaged ones and Northstar got the ones worth having.

Cool! And I know Northstar look after their buses well, I have been on their Trident's and they are very tidy and run totally well, you would never know their age.
I have only been on their X22 service a couple of times, but with the 18 service a bit closer to me I might use their buses a bit more regular. I hope they continue to expand North of Tyne
