(31 May 2016, 4:15 pm)Michael wrote GNE have won a few new routes, glad to see them running the 19, 7 days a week.
Wonder if the 168 could be merged with another route if GNE ever picked it up as a commercial route....
Let's walk before we can run!
I'd imagine it would only ever be commercially operated if there was a risk that the contract would be lost to a competitor, and the service proves to be sustainable for the duration of the contract.
Most journeys on service 29 in Gateshead will be commercially operated from the same date as above - willing to bet Gateshead Central Taxis had an attractive bid in for that service! That's your cue, Andreos!
Might be able to provide more info when I manage to get into my NEB emails! That's where I get all my tender info sent to!
