RE: Phoenix Coaches - GNE6312 - 01 Mar 2022
Apparently phoenix is getting the 6 in Newcastle from the 27th March which is to become the M6
RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 17 Apr 2022
Phoenix have been operating the 808 with a minibus/van and unclear as being a service bus, let alone the 808 service. Unimpressed.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - OrangeArrow49 - 06 Jun 2022
Phoenix have been using a number of different vehicles on the 808 which are not included on their fleet list on bustimes.org.

Phoenix have quite a lot of buses which are not on the bustimes fleet list.
This seems to be seeing exclusive use on the 58 now. Could I find out how long Phoenix have their existing contracts for? Of course the 552 and M6 are until March 2023. I'm not sure if they will always have the 808, or indeed will the 808 continue to exist in the long term?

Phoenix have won the contract for service 434/448 from September.
Info from Cllr Alex Wallace - Sleekburn Ward's Facebook page:
A new timetable will come in from September 4th for the 434 service which will be run by Phoenix. There are no additional buses but following the withdrawal of Go North East I am pleased we have been able to attract another provider. There are some changes in times to fall in with the changes made by Bedlington Academy. There will be a small change to young persons fares ranging from 60p to £1.30 and OAP/Disabled concession will be valid even on those starting before 09.00 Monday-Friday. The buses will use Ashington bus station both ways. Hope that helps those who use the service.
A funding bid has been made to the North of Tyne Authority for a 1 hour service on this route to service the re-opening of the rail link. We are very hopeful of this being successful and I will keep everyone informed if we do get the funding.
Timetable (Saturday times are the same as M-F):

No idea how accurate this quote is. But interesting nonetheless.
Sounds like they've sacked this one off.

Go North East lost the contract, they did not sack it off.

I had a feeling that would be the case.
Interesting that the councilor had that perception though. If he does, imagine the paying passengers? Where's the rurmour come from?

It's almost as if politicians twist things to make it sound like they solved a problem!

That's...yellow. Looks quite nice actually.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - omnicity4659 - 07 Sep 2022
Not sure why it has "Cambois" on the blinds, because it doesn't terminate there. Even if it did, which part of Cambois is it referring to?!

The timetable on Google Maps has Stakeford as the terminus for the service.

Looks like Phoenix have acquired an ex CT Plus Gemini, SN56 AFK.
RE: Phoenix Coaches - Arriva7446 - 13 Dec 2022
Just seen on Nexus website that Phoenix are running the X21 on boxing day from Ashington instead of Arriva. Wonder what vehicles will be used for that.
