There is nothing different on there from when the standstill period started.

Does this mean Northstar have definitely lost the 599? Maybe a similar commercial service would be possible with the growth in passenger numbers since the route was introduced. Gutted if the 599 has definitely gone to Gateshead Central.

Stagecoach have definitely given up the 18 and 32/32A? Any chance of Gateshead Central getting EVs for the 32/32A? Northstar running the 18 with single decks or deckers?

787 extended to Wallsend or just Byker?
