RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Unber43 - 28 Jul 2022 I have seen the 82/82A several times today and from what I have seen it has been quite busy RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - OrangeArrow49 - 28 Jul 2022 (28 Jul 2022, 5:41 pm)MurdnunoC wrote How are JH Coaches competing with GNE via Nexus? Competing in the sense it exists alongside GNE alternatives. To go from Gateshead to QE Hospital, Wrekenton and Washington, GNE services exist or passengers can instead use the, apparently cheaper, 82. Options are competition, even if they cost more, someone might prefer them. GNE are probably a better option than JH Coaches, but a return is apparently cheaper and the Nexus day ticket might be valid for travel, I'm not sure, therefore it's competing in a sense.

So, let's say the service comes up for tender again, and GNE win the contract. Are GNE competing with GNE, via Nexus? The fares structure for that contract is stipulated by Nexus, I believe, so will GNE be a better option than GNE in that scenario?

No problem if not, just sharing can improve on what's possible a lot easier than doing everything ourselves! Keeping up with regular uploads and constantly making new content is hard work!

I read on intenet the 2.50 is the max fare on a secured service but its still 3.40 to town on the 29? Or id this cause DCC are subbing it?

Yes, the 28/29 are Durham County Council contracts and they adopted GNE’s fares. Nexus minimum cost contracts have fares set by them.

This is another fine example. Wonderful background and perfect angle of the bus. How do you know where buses and coaches will be in order to photograph them? RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Retro Nero - 09 Aug 2022 I think the old style destination blinds look really good.

Saw JH07 COM, a Wright Gemini still in full Tyrers livery, at Regent Centre last night (Friday) on Metro replacements. Their fleet of Enviro 200s is increasing as well. LK09 ENX/EOB/EOC/EOD are all shown on Bustimes (but not tracking yet) and I have also seen ENY at the garage.

JH02COM = MX07BUW JH07COM = MX07BVF Also arrived that I’ve not seen mentioned is two former Nottingham Omnidekka’s YT59OZV/OZW from Atlantic Travel - one of those now has the JH09COM plate on it. I would bet the other has JH59COM.

But it doesn't seem like they've got a lot of contract work to do, they've only got the 82/30/31/701 for single deckers. They still have a few schools |
