Go North East i guess as the JH journey is the only one on the Nexus timetable that is marked as being another operator.

Does anyone have any further detail about the new premises GCT are looking to build?

Says on the Metrocentre timetable the 1831 is ran by Nexus. It doesn't on the digital versions though. Never seems to turn up either

After all of the hard work painting and power polishing the Streetlite following the incident that required bodywork replacement. It appears to have been involved in another incident with scuffs and paint damage to the front bumper and the off side edge just in front of the driver. Although not serious as it is still in service.

I've seen the architects plans for the depot.
A big step up from the current situation.

Now that GCT have ex-GNE 5157, what will it be allocated to?

Probably one of the school services. One of the less popular ones or a reserve as I think they just have enough deckers to cover the scholars services

Might be too long to get around the estates. The 37 sounds more likely. Would like to see JH get both 23 runs.
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Adrian - 05 Sep 2016
T807CBW is on the 37 today.

Maybe Stanley Travel or Jim Hughes. Could be anyone really. Wouldn't be surprised at Phoenix GNE or Weardale took it on. Think GCT will keep it though if it is up for tender.
