335/350/351 will still be Nexus tenders (along with the 19, 35, M71, W1/W2 and X46 operated by GCT).

I can't say what's being subsidised but there's some subsidy for the 356 as the current 355 is fully commercial.

https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.s...ls/630926/ - It's marked as 'In Part' there.

https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.s...ls/630923/ - The 342 is the same, unsure what the commercial part of that is though - maybe the short bus?

I assumed it was a tender like the 9 through the Tunnel or 62 to Throckley where it's paid as an extension to an existing service - I could be wrong though.
