(18 Jan 2022, 11:14 pm)logidoodah Surely it can't/shouldn't be GNE only because of recent driver problems and reducing timetables as last resort etc... Otherwise wouldn't be against it.

(19 Jan 2022, 4:06 pm)Train8261 But I can't see the contact going to just one operator as that's 3 months of them going between South Shields & Heworth
Possible GNE&Jh Coaches with help by Stanley Travel & L&G Coaches and maybe the odd L&B bus

(19 Jan 2022, 4:09 pm)Dan The contract has been offered to one single operator. The operator is entitled to sub-contract out, but the sub-contractor will need to have a vehicle of the same specification as required in the contract. The minimum was an 84-capacity Euro 5 bus (of which there aren't many in the North East).Is it rare for a contract to require NSA (with what GNE had on the 5th December)
