RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Michael - 03 Apr 2017 (03 Apr 2017, 8:41 pm)busmanT What makes you think that? Didn't even notice that, i doubt many people use the Sunderland to docks section on a evening and Sundays anyway, probables all OAP's. Wonder if "Go North East" will just run the service between Sunderland and the docks. I buy the smartzone pass anyway, much better than the megarider. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - 2bagstew - 18 Apr 2017 Durham County Council Bus Service Tenders are up for renewal to start the end Of October. The County is hoping for a like for like so no change with the tenders. If cut have to happen then they would take affect from April 2018.

Looks like it is a replacement for the evening services that Stagecoach plan to withdraw but it would be good to see the bus allocated to the 516 remain in South Shields at the end of 516 duties and pick up on the 12.

RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 04 May 2017 (04 May 2017, 1:17 pm)Michael Anymore information on these? The fact GNE have a Mercedes Sprinter on trial suggests to me they have won at least the 643. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Michael - 04 May 2017 (04 May 2017, 2:54 pm)Tom The fact GNE have a Mercedes Sprinter on trial suggests to me they have won at least the 643. Could be, i would like to see Go North East win the 37/73 again, as it means i can use my smartzone pass on it. I think Go North East will keep the 88, as for the rest independent companies. Going off topic but couldn't they just merge the 37/73, so the route would be: Doxford Park – Herrington Burn – Washington – Coach Road - Concord - Castletown - Sunderland 180 minutes - Hourly - PVR 3 RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Dan - 04 May 2017 (04 May 2017, 1:17 pm)Michael Anymore information on these? Yes, announced today. 88 - Go North East 643 - Stanley Travel 'R' services - Nightingale Coaches Gateshead Central Taxis have got the rest. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Michael - 04 May 2017 (04 May 2017, 6:26 pm)Dan Yes, announced today. Cheers Dan. |
