Is this the 42 that runs through north tyneside??  I can just about get away with different companies using the same number for different routes but surely GO north east dont have 2 services with the same number??? Even if they are in different parts of the region ( i could of course be completely of track with this having just read the last few posts!)

The new service is a Durham County Council contract and as such they have determined the service number. Would you expect GNE to not bid to operate the 40/41/42 services in Durham purely because they have services with the same number in a completely different part of the north east?
