Guessing temporary during the cancellations to try and get more things running?

Also, if GNE's driver issues have subsided at Percy Main, could GNE not be subcontracted the evening 306 journeys similar to when they took some 51/351 journeys on during covid?
It's more that it wouldn't be allowed if anything, because of the partnership agreement, rather than technically.
If they done something it would be the 43/44/45 down to it's COVID timetable again imo. If I'm right the Morpeth to Cramlington section is only actually tendered for one bus an hour with the other commercial. It would be dirty tactics and would annoy the council, but shouldn't breach the contract, on paper.
