Can anyone confirm whether the vehicle pictured below is owned by GCT or not? Thanks in advance...

Any other GCT related stuff can be put here aswell - it seems we were missing this thread!

Can anyone tell me which duties are operated by which operator?

Service 941 - Gateshead Central Taxis, Go North East or Classic?
Thanks!

Thanks!
In the morning, the 06.40 is operated by TGM-Classic and the 07.10 is operated by Gateshead Central Taxis.
In the afternoon, both journeys (16.05 and 17.10) are operated by Go North East.

(06 Jan 2014, 3:04 pm)Dan wrote But I assume they will be registered taxi bus services, numbered TBxxx? The 939 is a normal service as far as I'm concerned, and should be operated by buses. If Go North East can stick a Merc out on the 0610 run from Concord and a Vyking out on the 0640 from Sunderland, with Stanley Travel providing the extra bus at 0710 (also a double decker)... Why can't GCT?
You wouldn't see Deptford sticking out their silver driver shuttle vans on the 939.

(06 Jan 2014, 4:14 pm)aureolin wrote That's ridiculous to be honest. Nobody is going to be expecting a taxi to work instead of a bus. I wonder if Nexus have agreed?
(06 Jan 2014, 4:20 pm)Dan wrote It amazes me how they didn't care about Compass Community Transport's non-compliant vehicles when someone e-mailed them before.
If it had been one of the big three, Nexus would have come down on them like a tonne of bricks and no doubt would have fined them.
(06 Jan 2014, 7:20 pm)aureolin wrote I'd say Compass Community Transport's lacklustre approach to allocating vehicles has ultimately lost them Nexus contracts. I do agree that the big three seem to be more under the kosh from Nexus though.
