If Go North East, with its branding, website, app etc. can’t attract enough passengers then local authorities never will.
With that in mind, which of the proposed route withdrawals do we think will actually go ahead?

Perhaps the 29 will remain largely unchanged route, and perhaps with evening and Sunday journeys added.
if it’s like the Newcastle/North Tyneside changes, Nexus will change/withdraw many of their existing secured services as well in order to fund the replacement services. The 23 seems a likely candidate to go, as it’s in Birtley where the 25, 28 & 82 will all need replacing. The 73 is already duplicated by the 8 for most of the route so must be another candidate for being withdrawn.
