I’m sorry, but unless it’s developer funding paying for it that’s a complete waste of money.  A better idea would have been to increase the 351 to half hourly.

On a different note, I’m guessing they’ve bothered to put out a consultation this time as these are pretty uncontroversial changes compared to those in Sunderland/South Tyneside which they didn’t bother consulting for.

I doubt it - winning the 32, 35 and M71 will mean and overall increase. It will just be that Go North East submitted the lowest tender cost.

I do agree though - GCT have improved over the last year or so. I’m not sure what’s changed but it’s definitely positive.
