Of course, I know that, just surprising that Stagecoach kept all of their own services (and gained the 32A in full off Gateshead Central Taxis) whereas Go North East and Gateshead Central Taxis didn't seem to get as much support. Positive to see Nexus supporting Go North East with the QA/QB and the 41.
Many people would say the 18, 32/32A, 35 and 317 are best with Stagecoach in terms of territory and tickets etc, I'd say the 35 and 317 could be Arriva. A bit of competition is always good too.
Are the A-Line services like the 92, 792, 941 etc up for renewal this month or in September? Go North East have been awarded one 941 trip and the 392 from Henry Cooper from 24th July. Fingers crossed Henry Cooper get some work.
