319 North Shields to Jarrow interesting.

Is GNE service 5 reverting back to Jarrow to Shields only in that case.

Wonder who won 643

I didn't relies any of the 29 services were secured by nexus anymore?  I though GNE were running them commercially?

I would say nobody, it's a complete waste of time. Even the unique stretches are extremely quiet.

Maybe they might've stopped using a paper display by then.

A paper display?

So GNE are losing the 941 next month? Does Compass still run one trip?

Their Streetlite on the 516 hasn't had it's electronic display working since they won the contract, runs around with a piece of A4 paper in the windscreen saying "516". Not very useful for the elderly people who the route is for.

That doesn't sound very organised. A piece of A4 paper in the windscreen saying 516 doesn't sound adequate. The service is quite infrequent, does it get many passengers?

2 more Fiats are SJ19 PGE & PGF.

One of them likely to be for the 319. Really wish gne could keep the tyne tunnel bus.

Actually it would make more sense to use an Optare for that service, as from observations on certain 5 Journeys I usually count over 10 passengers on-board.

Nexus withdrawing 59 due to close times with service 54 and service 359 to run later into the day

Anyone know what GCT is allocating to the 319

The allocation today is a new Fiat Ducato Multijet Euro 6 Mellor, registered SJ19 PGE in the usual Nexus Bus livery.

Hopefully something a bit bigger gets allocated during the week and on Saturday. Why don't they purchase ADL demonstrator/Courtousy viechle YW68 OXA when it is done with GNE as that is more suitable or even purchase a solo for it

Why? I've never seen more than 10 people on the 5 from North Shields, pretty sure a Bluebird or equivalent is completely suitable.

Be likely to fulfil the minimum capacity requirements for the service and judging by the loadings I've seen on the 5 (and 9 prior to that), those will be big enough, 4 is about the highest loading I've encountered on it.

Can anyone give me any odds on this going back to GNE as a commercial operation?

Hey everyone,

I work for Gateshead Central Taxis and was tasked with creating a website for the bus division and we are finally at a stage where we can look to make it public. The web address is www.gatesheadcentralbuses.com . At present, I am aware of the display issues if one is using a tablet or mobile device and that will be rectified but any feedback would be great.

We will also be including a fleet list and some stage and hopefully some fleet numbers to the buses as well. Watch this space.

Well done with the website development it looks good on my desktop computer I look forward to seeing the tablet version when you are able to launch it. The hospital bus services page is helpful with the information provided.

It's nice to see a local independent operator taking the time and effort to deliver continuous improvements.

Are GCT keeping the 13 and 32A? Still allocating the same buses? They will probably be operating more services from March.

Gateshead Central Taxis 32A contract extended, 13 lost and 84/84A gained.
