(17 Jul 2014, 7:37 pm)Dan wrote Do remember that Kingsleys have lost a lot of work recently, with buses allegedly turning up at Jim Hughes...

(17 Jul 2014, 7:42 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote What contracts did they lose as don't recall reading anything, other than Gateshead Central Taxis gaining Contracts for Various Contracts.

(17 Jul 2014, 9:01 pm)Robert wrote It will just be MX05 OTJ (ON02 STX) and the solo they have got from Stuarts(?) in Scotland.

(17 Jul 2014, 9:16 pm)jaimz13 wrote i see when did they get the one from Scotland like are they both Optare Solo M780s

(17 Jul 2014, 7:34 pm)Robert wrote Apparently after hearing this, some of the drivers are objecting to this suggestion and are saying that they refuse to drive down to Birtley for what they get paid.

(17 Jul 2014, 9:21 pm)aureolin wrote If they've won a lot of new work, then the last thing they need is a dispute with their workforce. I'd have thought they'd pay excess fares to cover employee disruption anyway, like most do.

(17 Jul 2014, 10:03 pm)jaimz13 wrote Do they still have service 23

(18 Jul 2014, 6:07 am)Tom wrote Yes, along with Phoenix.

(18 Jul 2014, 6:21 am)jaimz13 wrote what bus do they have on it

(18 Jul 2014, 6:35 am)Tom wrote It's normally a Dart, OO05STX.

(17 Jul 2014, 7:21 pm)Robert wrote *Dont take this post as a fact as at this stage it is just a rumour*

The rumour is that the new B7s will instead be based at the Kingsley's depot rather than Stanley Travels. It will be interesting to see if anybody else has heard of this rumour aswell.

(17 Jul 2014, 9:30 pm)Robert wrote Its a great opportunity for the company since they withdrew all their service work which would be giving them even more money than the private hires they just went down to. This obviously started to take effect hence why they started putting bids in for Scholars services and in most cases have been successful.

(18 Jul 2014, 8:49 am)Robert wrote I do believe it has gone. I havent seen it for a few days. Andy should be able to give you a better answer.

(28 Jul 2014, 11:09 pm)Robert wrote Dont know if you already know but services 886 and 845 will be operated by the same bus. I suppose it doesnt take a genius to work out that that is the logical way of doing it but thought id post it anyway.

(28 Jul 2014, 11:14 pm)andy1977 wrote Yup, that's exactly the way the duty board from Nexus has it! With the misc workings we have to follow a nexus duty board so don't get any say in the workings etc.

(29 Jul 2014, 8:56 am)Robert wrote However what i dont understand is looking at the timetables. The 886 gets to St Thomas More, Blaydon at 1525. Which is fine. However, nexus give the driver no time to load up there as the 845 departs the school also at 1525. Id like to see how the driver keeps up with the schedule.

(29 Jul 2014, 6:58 pm)nk55 wrote Sadly from past experience, nexus must use a computer programme that has no roundabouts, traffic lights, junctions or other traffic. I remember doing the 826 from harton comp to gypsy green stadium then having 5 mins to get to whitburn comp load up & depart.
