At present, Go North East operate certain 425/426 workings while JH Coaches of course working the 425/435 and 426/436 cycle (down to London as 425 or 426 and back as 435 or 436, and likewise in the opposite order). Is this new '5 year contract' for the 425/426/435/436 workings presently run by JH Coaches after Yourbus was kicked off National Express work, or is it just a renewal of the present turns GNE have run since National Express took a large chuck of Yourbus' work back from them in late 2013 (anyone notice a pattern there- it's always Yourbus)
Previously when dunn line/veolia/yourbus operated a 426 South Shields-London then 461 (iirc) London-Lichfield and return, which is one of the new routes, it does say on the news article that additional drivers are being recruited internally/externally, so i can only imagine its either the jh coaches work or additional frequency on the 425/426.
