Three months into a new working partnership, Stagecoach North East and Nexus are celebrating the success of the first quarter.

Jodine Milne, Stagecoach North East Marketing Manager, says: “Since partnering with Nexus we have been impressed with the level of sales achieved and they are testament to the demand for quality public transport.

“Working together in this way has enabled us to further improve our high standards of service to our customers and show our commitment to making bus travel the future of public transport."

Louise Maguire, Corporate Sales Manager, Nexus Corporate Sales Coordinator adds: “We are pleased to be involved with Stagecoach, as it has enabled us to increase the range of tickets we a re able to offer our customers to best match their travel needs.
