I can't believe Arriva have put in for the Metro Replacement contract between Shiremoor and Tynemouth, when they clearly haven't got enough resources to facilitate it (despite having extra vehicles in the fleet with the MAX Volvo B7TL/Alexander ALX400s entering service). Not only have some depots had to give up vehicles to be loaned to Jesmond, but the work has been sub-contracted to two independent operators too. They really can't be making much money off this contract at all...
Exactly!
