Presumably they declined the 32/32A, because of a lack of available drivers and buses, as they've only lost the M71 and X46. Not sure what they expected to lose to make them able to run the 32/32A.
I agree, hopefully Northstar can run the 599 commercially, or a very similar route. Disappointing to see Gateshead Central get the 599.
Has anything besides the 32/32A changed after the standstill period?
