Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - cbma06 - 17 Mar 2022 North East bus cuts 'tsunami' put on hold – but it's too late for Newcastle and North Tyneside routes A new government funding pledge has given some services a temporary reprieve, but cuts already planned for the end of this month will not be stopped A “tsunami” of cuts to bus services for most of the North East is on hold for now – but passengers in Newcastle and North Tyneside will not be so lucky. It has been expected that the region’s bus operators would be making major cutbacks to routes across the area, equating to up to 17% of their mileage, due to a funding crisis amid reduced passenger numbers caused by the pandemic. But many under-threat routes appear to have been given a temporary stay of execution, after a new government funding announcement earlier this month. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/north-east-bus-cuts-tsunami-23411231?fbclid=IwAR1hA3s4dxocEa-VFSMSd2RJJaS3911-zyJwC8CQDUVCVZiDpGSl72OtkzA Does this mean the cuts to Sunderland and Gateshead service won’t be going through until October?

Interesting, as it looks like the cuts may not be bad as we think or none at all until at least October... Also, never noticed, someone had already post the information from the chronicle site - my bad!

In to the last few days of companies bidding for the contracts... Are the changes to commercial services still going ahead,(such as NEXUS taking over unprofitable routes) as I'm sure I read the government were continuing to fund bus companies till October 2022. RE: Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - Michael - 09 Apr 2022 Anyone heard anything about these contracts? RE: Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - Unber43 - 09 Apr 2022 What services are up for contracts?

RE: Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - Unber43 - 09 Apr 2022 Wonder if GNE will go for 37/73/99 RE: Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - Economic505 - 09 Apr 2022 (09 Apr 2022, 6:39 pm)Unber43 wrote Wonder if GNE will go for 37/73/99Let’s hope Sne keep the 99. I feel thst services should operate on the old pre deregulation setup. SNE town and suburban routes; GnE , district routes. Perfect system Back then. Bring back United buses too. The old PtE guide of 1985 is a good read. RE: Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - Unber43 - 09 Apr 2022 (09 Apr 2022, 9:52 pm)Economic505 wrote Let’s hope Sne keep the 99.

Change says revised routing for the afternoon journeys I think that was for the change from 24th April - the new timetable from 8th May shows the 7am journey running 6:55, can't see any other changes. RE: Nexus Tenders | Sunderland, Washington & Gateshead - May 2022 - Storx - 05 May 2022 Can't imagine there being many changes, they're just temporary (6 month I believe) until the Covid funding runs out again then the real changes will come no doubt, some no doubt brutal.
