They haven't appeared on VOSA yet.

The Qualifying Agreement was due to be signed off at the Joint Transport Committee meeting on 21 February.

Arriva and Go North East were unable to proceed with the Qualifying Agreement until agreed by the Commitee.

Arriva registered their changes as they were proceeding with a frequency reduction regardless of whether the Qualifying Agreement took place or not, whereas Go North East were only reducing their service levels if it came as part of the Qualifying Agreement.

Go North East’s remaining changes in March will fall in line with contract changes - i.e on the 1, 19, 41 and 643 as already mentioned. Contracts were awarded to operators last week and operators are currently in the 10-day ‘cooling-off’ period, during which time they can choose to accept or reject contracts, or decide to take on tendered services commercially.

I would suggest all three operators are likely to announce service revisions by the end of next week once all the above matters are concluded.
