(22 Jul 2022, 6:03 pm)OrangeArrow49 Is the 725 going to be allocated a Solo?If you are going to newcastle/getting more than 2 buses going, you can just buy a day ticket on the x20, then get off at the next stop.
How much is a single and return between Sacriston and Chester-le-Street? Can Go North East tickets be purchased on the 725? Ticket acceptance is little use if a ticket needs to be purchased to access Go North East, although I know the X20 and 16/16A operate along the route.

(22 Jul 2022, 6:18 pm)Jimmi It should be a Solo (or more likely Solo SR).
GNE tickets are accepted however they cannot be purchased on board the 725.

(22 Jul 2022, 6:30 pm)OrangeArrow49 Yes, I meant Solo SR. For some reason I was expecting a double decker, the 25 is a mix of single and double decker buses. Definitely wasn't expecting a Solo SR.Contract is for a minimum of 25 seats, it doesn't require a double decker with the main reason GNE using them on the 25 being interworking with scholars.
That's what I thought.

Are Weardale operating their scholars routes from September, including the 105 and 146? Which 941 journey are they operating in the afternoon?
School bus services could be included on bus stop timetables. The Arriva scholars routes are the only services not open to all passengers as far as I know.

(31 Jul 2022, 6:13 pm)stueybish You asked about scholars services - they’re contracted by Nexus - including the 794, 933 and 941

(01 Aug 2022, 3:06 pm)OrangeArrow49 Any ideas who is running the 933/941 from 31st August onwards?If I can take the biggest guess. Go North East
So Weardale are only running Durham CC services like 725, 763, 773 etc?
Who is running the scholars routes Weardale had this school year?
