Makes sense to kill off the 1 to Asda, with the 643 providing that link, and the 6/7, 10/10A/10B, 47, 643 and 941 at the bottom of the car park.

Surprised and disappointed to see Go North East awarded the 643 instead of Northstar. Just went on the Northstar 643 very recently, and it was amazing.

With the 939 going the other way, from Go North East to Northstar, I was thinking, are there any operator changes on the 941 next month? JH got the afternoon contact in September, but I can't remember about the morning contract, and I'm sure Go North East got it from Weardale in the summer of 2022.

As Aaron21 said, it's just the current morning 1 that runs from Sunniside. Pointless renumbering it to the 301A tbqh, it runs perfectly fine as of now as the 1 as it's only one trip one way.

And, I'd like to say I'm suprised they are losing the 643 to GNE. It's what GNE do best, dump services for other operators to pick up and then getting them back again later. My ALX trip on the 643 was amazing too. 

I wouldn't be suprised if they're doing it purely cos it's Dan who owns NS. And although GNE have the full right to take it back, it still seems abit snakey doing that to a newish small independant operator.
