To do this, Nexus has worked together with bus companies and local councils to examine how current services operate and to look at what improvements could be made to the ‘subsidised’ services in the network, which are the ones Nexus pays for. We have called this the Accessible Bus Network Design Project.

We want your views on the proposals we are now making to improve bus services in North Tyneside, which you can find on this website. Information for other districts in Tyne and Wear is still available here, but the formal consultation for them closed on 4 June.

We want to hear from you whether you rely on the bus in your daily life, use buses only occasionally or even if you don’t – but might consider doing so in the future. You can respond by clicking on the 'Questionnaire' link at the foot of each page that follows this home page, or by emailing your comments to bus.strategy@nexus.org.uk.

This consultation forms part of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority’s Bus Strategy, a three year action plan to improve all aspects of the bus services in Tyne and Wear. South Tyneside saw a similar consultation last year with a new network for the district launched in May this year, so is not included in this consultation.

Please click on North Tyneside (or whichever council area you are interested in) to get full details for that district.
