Like what is this expecting to do. The North East aint anything like Edinburgh, London, Manchester we dont get the funding. Hell GNE have gotten funding for new electric buses for there flagship routes and they aint even on them
Franchise in the North East is a bad idea it wont work and this plan just seem a lot of gibberish
It'll all go tits up in someway. Nice to see kimmy finally stopped play Grim Reaper long enough to actually start this.
How long she been the mayor now and has now ONLY started talking about this yet this was her whole campaign was to "get the buses back under control"
Also why use a Red E200 which looks to be in Seaham im assuming with a company I dont even recognise. Its all a load of bull and its not gonna work
"Implementation remains subject to “further testing,” according to the assessment, but it finds bus franchising in the north east to be “affordable, feasible and deliverable.”"
Who's wrong here?
