(28 Sep 2013, 8:09 am)tyresmoke wrote Thanks to a post on the National Express yahoo group I have been able to make a list of all of the NX services being taken over by GNE in the next few months
The 561s transfer from 14th October, and they also take over the 410/420 from Natex themselves, plus the operation of the 024 route to Eastbourne from Chalfont, who will operate the 023 Bexhill instead (this being Yourbus at present).
The journeys below on the 425/426 will transfer to GNE operation in December (date tbc) and I'm assuming anything not listed here (other 425/426s, the overnight 435/436, 591) has been won by Jim Hughes from December?
The 563 Whitby-London will transfer to EYMS from 14th October.
GNE won services as follows:
561 0750 Skipton-London
561 0900 Ripon-London
561 1020 Skipton-London
561 1155 Knaresborough-London
561 1300 London-Knaresborough
561 1400 London-Skipton
561 1600 London-Ripon
561 1700 London-Skipton
024 0805 Eastbourne-London
024 1900 London-Eastbourne
420 0630 London-Birmingham
410 1100 Birmingham-London
410 1700 London-Birmingham
420 2100 Birmingham-London
425 0715 Newcastle-London
425 1430 Newcastle-London
426 0645 Sunderland-London
426 1400 S.Shields-London
425 0930 London-Newcastle
425 1600 London-Newcastle
426 0930 London-S.Shields
426 1630 London-Sunderland
The 425 & 426 from n/cle & shiels at 14.30 & 14.00 work onto the 435/436 also the 09.30 departures work off the overnights 435/436 so i'd assume the overnights have been won by gne aswell. The only 425 thats missing is the morning ashington which when classic had the contract ran onto a 040 to overnight in bristol and the 2nd 426 from shields/s'land which ran onto a felixstowe overnight, presume theses and the 591s have been won by jim hughes.
