Has Go North East been awarded the 33/33A again? Who has been awarded the 13? So far only the 84/84A has changed operator in Newcastle. GCT have been awarded lots of contacts in North Tyneside.
Nexus have issued the invitation to tender for Miscellaneous Workings / School Services with a contract start date of 1st September 2020 for a duration of 12 months. Euro 4 vehicles with a capacity of 44, 60 or 84 are specified.

I honestly don't get what they're complaining about.
Do the councils want control over the businesses that took part in the furlough scheme as well?
Do they want part of the airlines that were also 'bailed out' during this crisis?
(15 Jun 2020, 2:00 pm)Rob44 why would they want part of the airlines? Do the local authorities mentioned in the news artical give money to the airlines to to fly specific routes???

(15 Jun 2020, 2:28 pm)streetdeckfan But, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the additional money that the bus operators have received comes from central government rather from the local councils?
So using the argument that they're receiving money from government to want control locally is a bit silly.
The councils do have control over the tendered routes, which is what they're paying for.
Quote:“Prior to the Covid-19 crisis, 61% of funding came from passenger fares, 33% from local authorities and 6% from central government. Since the emergency funding measures were put in place, only 5% comes from passenger fares, 54% from local authorities and 42% from central government.”

(17 Jun 2020, 11:23 am)Andreos1 Nexus, Northumberland County Council and Durham County Council continue to maintain concessionary fare and tendered bus service payments to bus operators at pre-pandemic levels as a result of a government request.So they haven't actually increased the amount, it's just the fact that passenger fares have decreased has increased the proportion (and only temporarily) that local authorities contribute.
This quote from Tobyn Hughes puts it in to some perspective.

It'd be interesting to see how this proportion changes over the next few weeks with passenger numbers starting to increase
