Dear Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive,

Please provide me with all information held on the subject of the M1 bus service, from the past 24 months. This should specifically include:

* draft routes/timetables
* documented consultation
* changes to routes/timetables
* reasoning/objection/proposal to changes

I'd appreciate this information in a widely recognised format, such as Word Document, or preferably PDF.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Hedley

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail dated 25th May 2010.Having made enquiries I am
informed that Nexus does not subsidise this service which is a
commercial service operated by Go North East.Under those circumstances I
would suggest that you direct your enquiry to the Operator.

Regards

Dear Sir,

Go North East have advised me that their plans have went through formal consultation, and had approval from Nexus. This would indicate a record of these proposals and plans are held by Nexus. Therefore information is not exempt from the Freedom of Information act.

Could you please proceed with this request.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Hedley

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Under relevant legislation the only requirement imposed on an operator
is to provide Nexus with a copy of the registration of the service which
is submitted to the Traffic Commissioner before the implementation date
(which in itself it a document of public record).There is no formal
consultation required and none took place with regard to this service.
Enclosed is a copy of that document.

Although not directly related to your request I also enclose a document
received by Nexus entitled 'Service Improvements in the Washington and
Houghton areas'which makes refernce to the service M1.
