The response deadline is 03/01/2017, with the contracts being awarded by the end of January 2017 and commencing 19/03/2017. The contracts will expire 17/03/2018, so another fairly short-term contract length.
Service 333: 1x Euro 4 vehicle with a minimum capacity of 36
Service 335: 2x Euro 4 vehicles with a minimum capacity of 23
Service M71: 1x Euro 4 vehicle with a minimum capacity of 23 and maximum vehicle length of 9.5m
Services W1/W1A: 2x Euro 4 vehicles with a minimum capacity of 36 and maximum length of 9.0m
Service W3: 1x Euro 4 vehicle with a minimum capacity of 16 and maximum length of 9.0m
Would be really nice for Go North East to be awarded with the contract for the 335 service as that would link up the network nicely, and would allow customers to use other Go North East tickets on the 335 service. I'm thinking Phoenix will stand a good chance at getting most/all of them again though.
The current contracts were only ever meant to last six months (24/07/2016 to 18/03/2017) - see original post here.
Ah right thanks, I would think Phoenix for a lot of them too.
