19 - Will predominately operate between Cramlington and North Shields every hour, with one morning and one afternoon service to/from Ashington. It will go via Brierdene way and seghill. And also every hour from Northumberland Park to North Shields just like it is now but will go via the Fish Quay upon departure from the ferry. Last departures will be around half eight in the evening.
342 - Will operate between Wallsend, Kingston park(replacing the 42a) and Westerhope.
317 - replacement for the 41 and 11 it seems as it will operate from Wallsend via holy cross, howdon and then the 11 route to Whitley Bay with a stop at the ferry landing as well
18 - whole service Monday - Sunday is being tendered not just evenings/sundays as it was now.
theres a few others as well, list of all services being tendered are 1 (a few evening departures), 317, 342, 41a(few evenings deps), w2, 18, w1, 553, 19, 335, 643, 75/76, 32, m6, 552, 35, 84 and 84a
75/76? What are they? 553 is operated by Arriva commercially I believe?
342 hourly or every 2 hours?
18 route unchanged?
Expect Gateshead Central Taxis will get most, if not all, of the contracts.
