Just a pure coincidence Stagecoach kept all of their services, and gained support for the 62 because passengers wanted Stagecoach instead of Gateshead Central Taxis in those areas.
Go North East would have got funding to secure the Q3 in March, but it went to supporting the 18 instead.
Works services being awarded this month surprised me.
Maybe next March we could see a couple of Stagecoach Newcastle services go to other companies.
