(2 hours ago)Busadvocate wrote Ah, that's different - so long as it does genuinely fit before/ after other work. I thought the case of initially doing one of the buses on 18 off the 792 was a bit disreputable. (Unless for some reason Nexus agreed to a shortterm bodge, say due to the quite short timeline from award to start of contract?)
I don't know what the 10/11 is with Stagecoach as they've always had it.
But there's only the the 515/558/568/643 which should be a PVR 4 which run all day, plus the 5 buses currently on the 18/79/520 and that's the lot depending on what the 10/11 in Jarrow is.
The PVR on an Sunday and beyond 6/7pm is 1 on the 18 as nothing else runs. Plenty buses to do other stuff in the early morning / evening / Sunday's really. It's a good use of resources imo.
