(31 Oct 2021, 9:18 pm)Michael wrote I wonder if the other 27 will be passed around different companies for the Hexham and Northumberland contracted services? So like GNE could have them for 3 year before moving to Arriva for example or would the council have to have them stay with one company due to the deal passed over to the government for the funding.


That's if they actually get the funding... which I doubt as its the North East...

Is there any space for the charging infrastructure at those depots?

Edit:

Found a PDF with info on about the bid for the North East

What is interesting about the bid is that if it is successful the operations of the "Angel 21" will move to Gateshead Riverside Depot, further to that they've bid for 10 new buses for the Venture Network which has not been mentioned previously.
