Go North East was also awarded two scholars/Miscelleanous Workings (previously Nightingale Coaches) from yesterday, to be operated until 31st August 2018. Two double-decks in the Special Events Fleet have therefore been reinstated in Riverside's fleet.
So were all services not included in North Tyneside/Newcastle (335, W3, M71 etc.) in the recent tendering?
And will we see Baby Solos on the K3 and W2 when the new Solos arrive for the 40?
