National Express Shuttle

[DJ]

An operator called 'National Express Shuttle' has appeared on Bus Times, with various routes registered in the North East, in and around Sunderland for the most part. The routes seem to be current Stagecoach and Go North East routes, so I'm guessing these are council tenders?

If anyone knows any information and they're able to share it, it'd be appreciated.

Looks to be evening only services for the most part, do they have nothing for the bus to do during the day?
I can't find a registration for it on the DVSA site either, so it could probably be an error on the bus times site.

I'd assume that somewhere along the lines, a bit of coding has gone wrong and confused Nexus with National Express.

Edit: GNE were running these contracts on an emergency basis due to Gateshead Central Taxis unable to meet the contract, but it appears that no operator has been awarded these services yet so it hasn't been assigned to an operator.

I'm not sure it's an error, as it also appears on Traveline.

Could possibly just be the same error on traveline as @Stu said above.

I would imagine all the information comes from BODS, so one coding error will result in every place that uses BODS publishing the same information. It certainly isn't NXbus.

That's a good point. Come to think of it, it could be as simple as 'National Express Shuttle' and 'Nexus' both trying to use the code NXS, which is confusing Traveline and Bustimes.

Just to confirm this is no part of NX, so appears to be rogue data in BODS
