Those contracts should be awarded on Tuesday, so hopefully we'll find out more. Interested to see if there's any changes to the 99/135/136 - 3 of the most pointless services in Sunderland - I know the 135/136 has been out for tender again - but I wonder if they'll be any changes?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Didn't sound like discrimination in that case!
The issue is that response shouldn't be required, and wheelchair users should be able to board buses. Obviously a broken ramp is slightly different (provided it was checked and worked on a first use inspection, and the defect happened in service), but the reports on here and elsewhere indicate that GNE have been knowingly sending out vehicles that cannot safely board wheelchair users at various bus stations, due to the centre door position of the ramp.

Don't believe there will be anything as it's all been delayed because of them getting extra funding until whenever the tenders end. It's a short tender until November I believe - https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2022/W11/770703651 |

"It is anticipated that subsequent contracts will be for a term of up to 6 months." ---- Edit: was looking through and it says they've been rewarded for the May tenders............ but I can't bloody link it because I've hit my daily free limit!
