Going by how successful Dalesbus is how about getting the Northeast Tourism Authority to start up BorderBus.
Services will be tendered like Dalesbus and run from mainly Newcastle but also other places aswell.
Services depending on Height will be mostly Double Deckers to provide capacity aswell as Outstanding views from the top deck.
heres one example of a route....
BB52 Hexham to Kelso running via Keilder and Northumberland National Parks and Jedburgh stopping at most villages for passengers to get off and explore
GNE could provide a B9tl based at Hexham to work the service if not a B7 from Riverside or a single decker in emergencys.
ANE can bring a E400 from Ashington, a B7 from Jesmond or a VDL DB300 from Blyth, Omnicitys in emergencys
DAF DB250s will not be allowed with not being good on hills. or any other operator can operate the route.
tickets will be around a tour operator style ticket with hop on hop off availability. No ENCTs cards or any other passes allowed
Buses running every hour and a half with a PVR of 2 or 3 last bus to Kelso ( 16.00 ) last bus from Kelso ( 18.50 )connecting with Perrymans route 60 in Kelso and
Various routes in Hexham including 85/685.
If you can think of any more routes to suggest reply to this and I will include them in the final timetable soon
