RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 26 Jun 2016 (26 Jun 2016, 5:02 pm)NK53 TKT GCT? Perhaps the 335 might be Kingsley's? JH Coaches have enough capacity to operate one of the above as do Stanley Travel and A-Line (having lost the M12) I'm not sure to be honest - canny bit of light mileage for someone like JH and Kingsleys to be fair, could be Phoenix as they are taking on quite a bit it seems.

RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 30 Jun 2016 (30 Jun 2016, 4:24 pm)citaro5284 I agree, lets hope they can recruit the drivers in time. Saw a B10M going around Wallsend a couple of times advertising drivers. Wonder what buses they will use as they only have 2 E200s atm onto of the 3 or 4 Solos.

Wonder what buses they will use as they only have 2 E200s atm onto of the 3 or 4 Solos. Hi Thought it would be a good idea to clear a few things up (saves all the speculation), we are pleased to have been awarded the above contracts and have (or are in the process of) adding to the fleet with the following 2 * Enviro 200's (ex Tates Travel) 2 * Optare Solo (ex weardale) 2 * Dennis Dart (ex go ahead London via Procters) 3 * Mellor Orion + - yet to be delivered as currently being built. With regards drivers we have spent the past few months recruiting and training using our training bus (so far with a 100% practical test pass rate which means we have enough drivers + extra to start the work on the 25th July. I hope that helps !! RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 30 Jun 2016 (30 Jun 2016, 5:10 pm)Phoenix Coaches Hi Great thanks for sharing that I'm guessing the Orions will be used on the services like the 359/59, W2 and M71? RE: Tender Discussion Thread - NK53 TKT - 30 Jun 2016 (30 Jun 2016, 5:10 pm)Phoenix Coaches HiGreat, I will definitely be hunting down the E200s and darts, is there going to be a set plan for allocations and how large are the darts going to be? RE: Tender Discussion Thread - G-CPTN - 30 Jun 2016 (30 Jun 2016, 6:01 pm)NK53 TKT how large are the darts going to be?Darts for Phoenix. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - NK53 TKT - 01 Jul 2016 (30 Jun 2016, 6:57 pm)G-CPTN Darts for Phoenix. Not huge, I reckon the 335 will be for them RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Michael - 25 Jul 2016 (14 Jun 2016, 5:16 am)Dan To answer the question...

Awarded to "Go North East" RE: Tender Discussion Thread - peter - 07 Aug 2016 (30 Dec 2013, 4:37 pm)tyresmoke Hi all I'm aware that this was a while ago and things may have changed (and so it may be slightly out of date) but in the publication (that was part of the original post above) it gives a long list of DCC contracts all of which were due to end 30/7/16...I don't recall any changes of operators/services occurring recently so I was just wondering does anyone know if these have been extended, and if so how long for, or if they have simply awarded all the contracts to the same operators (though i find it hard to believe that not one has changed for one reason or another)???
