Both terminate about a mile from each other the way the roads work (basically opposite sides of the dual carriageway as the crow flies). Ye, i was thinking of another service too but now i can't think haha

RE: Tender Discussion Thread
Was the 33/33A up for tender separately last time? Continually surprised this is renewed , it carries thin air 99% of the time.
Guessing it's politics of the well heeled variety keeping this one going
Wistfully stuck in the 90s

Look at how many of the services which were supported by Nexus, that are now commercially viable services. The list just keeps on growing 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

RE: Tender Discussion Thread
The contract for the Sunderland Connect 700/701 services is up for renewal this year.
Sunderland City Council will provide 3 low-carbon hybrid vehicles in a dedicated livery to operate this contract. The use of these vehicles will be subject to a separate agreement between the successful contractor and Sunderland City Council. The details of vehicles to be provided are as follows:-
It should be noted that it is extremely likely that these vehicles will need to be re-painted during the term of this contract. The contract will require the successful bidder to operate a term-time timetable (17th September 2016 until 7th July 2017) and a separate summer timetable (8th July 2017 to 2nd September 2017). |

GNE got it from the 4th September 2016 according to VOSA.....so it looks like it will last for 13 days before a new operator takes over, if GNE don't get it. PB0002400/450 - GO NORTHERN LTD T/A GO NORTH EAST, 117 QUEEN STREET, GATESHEAD, NE8 2UA Variation Accepted: Operating between Sunderland, Park Lane Interchange and Sunderland, Park Lane Interchange given service number 700/701 effective from 04-Sep-2016. To amend Timetable.
