(18 Apr 2023, 3:22 pm)Unber43 wrote Well, the 6:10 would get you into Newcastle just before 7:00, which for people trying to get to newcastle to start at 7 would be struggle. As well the 6:40 would give a good time to start in newcastle before 8, whereas the next bus 7:09 would give you 5 mins to get to your place of business. 

Really the 29 should be half hourly between Kimblesworth and Newcastle, offer more workplace links to Team Valley, perhaps a 29A, which goes from Kimblesworth, on the A1, then through team valley, past Sainsburys to Gateshead and Newcastle.

Nexus "hi do you know we are withdrawn your service even though you are clearly using it right now. Not like we care. We will fund a service then get rid of it in a year"

Nexus just don't care what the response is anymore. Example of the M6 in March. They withdrawn it even though so many people wanted it kept. I mean come on. They didn't even give the w2 the plans either for passengers who don't have a 51 on an evening anymore

Simple one is 83A/99/515 are planned to be withdrawn & a few others

(07 May 2023, 12:58 pm)Storx wrote In fairness I'm usually the biggest moaner but those two services are just completely pointless. I really don't see the purpose in either of them and it's no surprise no-one uses them. The Heworth one in particular just duplicates the 27 for most of it. The 99 is just a weird bus route as it serves commuter areas but ironically doesn't run during commuter hours so I'm not sure what it's exactly meant to be doing. We were talking about it awhile back.

Mind no doubt the money will be going towards the mess of the Metro instead.

(07 May 2023, 1:00 pm)Dan wrote I hazard a guess any savings from the withdrawal of these services will be to cater for any potential cuts from operators with the loss of BRG at the end of June (and/or increases in tender prices following the significant pay increases given to drivers since last May).

(31 May 2023, 7:47 pm)Michael wrote Wonder when we'll find out the results, as it closed on Friday 19th May 2023.

(31 May 2023, 8:43 pm)Dan wrote The operators have now been informed and are in the 10-day cooling off period, so probably in around two weeks time for registrations.

(13 Jun 2023, 1:18 pm)Dan wrote Or perhaps a hint that it has been awarded but Stagecoach haven’t retained the contract.
