(24 Mar 2014, 6:27 pm)tyresmoke As far as I know - yes it does. Appears that the funding is jointly provided by Northumberland and Cumbria, of which Cumbria have pulled their part. So it looks very much like there will be no AD122 this summer, unless some funding can be found to provide a limited service.

Had a quick look on google, but nothing jumped out either way.

There was also something on Look North around half-an-hour ago stating that funding for the charity which supports Hadrian's Wall is being slashed. Nothing specifically mentioned about the AD122, but local businesses fear that their trade will suffer as a result.

(13 Apr 2014, 9:34 am)Tom Just out of interest, who does everyone think will get the ''Quaylink'' contract next year?

(13 Apr 2014, 9:40 am)Michael Not sure as it requires 9 buses and known NEXUS they will want Euro 6, not sure if independent companies could afford that.
I would think GNE will order new buses for it next year to keep it
I would like Stagecoach or Arriva to get it but no sire what they will run on it

(13 Apr 2014, 9:44 am)Tom If Arriva got it they'd probably buy new Versas or Streetlites. I'd like to see Arriva get it though this time.

(13 Apr 2014, 9:45 am)tyresmoke It would be a big contract to sustain Jesmond and yeah I reckon they would probably buy Euro6 Streetlites. Possibly even the electric ones like in Milton Keynes!

(17 Apr 2014, 5:20 pm)Tom I'm not sure who I think will get the contract - Possibly Arriva though, using 10 X Electric Streetlite. I'd like to see them use those on the Quaylink if they got the contract too.
