(07 Jun 2024, 5:28 pm)Dan wrote Given that the secured section between Doxford Park and Washington doesn't cost an entire peak vehicle, it will be interesting to see what impact the loss of such a contract would have upon the rest of the 39 - naturally the service would revert to its previous state (i.e. no longer serving Tunstall Bank Estate and Houghton-le-Spring) to remove the peak vehicle cost, but I'd be surprised to see such a significant and political change achieved at short-notice, given commitments as part of the EP.

Will Go North East be forced to have a bus sitting in Houghton-le-Spring for a considerable amount of time - at least temporarily - or will a more drastic timetable change be achieved at short-notice?

Or perhaps Nexus were aware the awarding the 39 (used to be 37) contract to someone else would lead to the loss of the HLS leg?

Also to note - a 202 has appeared in the 201. Not sure if this is a return of the original 202 or something else.

I assume a Durham County Council contract change as the 201 is fully secured.

Looks like the 9 is being extended to North Shields.

lots of Nexus contracts are due for renewal in July and I wonder is some of that elusive BSIP money is being spent?
