If so, then it's not out of the question for Weardale, Stanley Taxis or even Garnetts to bid for the 689 as the service both starts and finishes in Consett.
However, I can't see anyone else bidding for the 74/688 as both start and finish in Hexham. I suppose Tyne Valley Coaches could bid on these tenders, but, the question has to be asked, do they have enough buses to cover these contracts?
Presumably, the H11 and H53 are tendered services but what about the 683 and 687?
I think the 687 is commercial, not sure about the 683. They are seperate contract, but I agree, I'd like to see Garnetts or Weardale to bid for those services. I don't see why Arriva can't bid for the 74 as the evening journeys start/finish in Matfen.
