Yes, a near monopoly indeed. GNE automatically get awarded the 42/42A and still have the 33/33A in Newcastle until March next year I guess. A-line, Henry Cooper and Weardale have some works services and scholars contracts are operated by JH, Arriva, GNE, Henry Cooper and Weardale. 

A shame how it's all gone to GCT to be ruined when there are far better operators without much work.
