(17 Jul 2015, 3:20 pm)G-CPTN According to today's Hexham Courant, some of the HS routes taken over by GNE are on a 'trial only' basis - if they don't prove to be viable they will be discontinued.
Other routes are significantly reduced (in frequency).

(04 Aug 2015, 7:24 am)G-CPTN Will Howard Snaith survive as a local bus operator, as a tour bus operator or as a private hire operator, as a taxi service or will they cease commercial operation? Have they lost their licences?
The loss of what seemed to be the bulk of their local services probably means a significant reduction in drivers (and vehicles).
The impact on employment in the North Tyne area must be detrimental.

If I've read it correctly (and if the report is accurate!) I'd say only the Colwell service is to be evaluated in October not the "main" Bellingham route.
