I am sure they wont be happy if that happens and ANE, GNE Stagecoach start running them at a much higher price meaning some services have to go and taxes go up ( for those who pay it! ) There is no magical money tree as someone once said!

A cynic would suggest that Gateshead Central Taxis can offer such low prices because they do not run the contracts as they should. False economy for the winning bid to be cheaper, if it comes at the expense of the contract not running as it was tendered.

I think what most people want is for Gateshead Central Taxis to operate the contracts as Nexus have tendered them - ie, no repeated missing journeys on the same contracts, time and time again - and for action to be taken if this does happen (which we know it does). I suspect as enthusiasts we don’t really care who runs the contract as long as it does actually run.
