I know my friends who have to use SC and there family if GNE were to run routes in that area they would 100% switch.
Gne already asked the availability of stagecoach operations in South Shields and Hartlepool, Hartlepool was turned down flat from the start, and South Shields was 80/20 in stagecoach favour but nothing came out of it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if shields was closed down with all operations running from Sunderland as there’s enough room
Last time i heart SC in Hartlepool's fleet are dying with mechanics trying there best. SC would probs give GNE Hartlepool and South Sheilds ops for the right money. imo it would be better for passengers.
