The 57/57a is run by Ashington Monday-Saturday daytime using MPDs and the recently transferred Solos.
The Evening and Sunday journeys on the 57a are funded by Nexus and have been operated by Jesmond since last September. The tender specifies Euro4 vehicles with a capacity of 36 - which rules out Jesmond's MPDs as they are only Euro3.
