East Durham are all contracted. I don't know imo i would make sense for GNE to take over Arriva 22/24/23, as they operate the local services around there and it would be the best for the passengers.
Washington its the pinks but really what more can they do, I honestly think the massive suggestions from another user to integrate the pinks services into 2/2A & 8 would work wonders to provide more links.
I’m sure that the east Durham services were contracted but a few years ago there were going to lose the contracts to Arriva as there must of put a lower bid in and GNE decided to take them on commercially.
About the 22/23/24 ,GNE should purchase these services from Arriva, at present there’s buses broken down along the route and buses not running, last week there was a 24 broken down at Oakerside and passengers had to wait for the next bus which was heavily delayed, Arriva got rid of the local services and let the out of town buses to do the routes instead .
