Which I’m not sure how they’ll manage it, without another service like the 21s for instance taking even more of a hit instead. I wonder if GNE don’t get these contracts, it’s because they don’t want them - without the extra secured work they’ll be in a better position to withdraw older vehicles, close CLS depot and reduce short notice cancellations elsewhere.I don't think the 61/60 are covered by DCC.
It’s been mentioned about the 8 being cancelled in the evening? Happy to stand corrected, it’s a recent development the 8 running late into the evening? And I’m guessing it’ll be one of a few evening services running without subsidy. Even services like the 60 have secured parts. I believe, DCC still pays for the later evening Parkside to Seaham runs. So I’m guessing it’s just complete coincidence that the 8 is taking a hit.
I can't imagine many others aren't subsided on a night.
