RE: Arriva bus changes! - northern156 - 07 Dec 2014
Does anyone know why the 86/685 has been issued a new timetable starting from today please?
Stagecoach introduced a 2-hourly Hexham - Carlisle service from mid November and this is included in the timetable but I'd imagine, starting today there'd be other changes to the Arriva service than a fancy new map? Of note, the timetable now includes the Haltwhistle - Carlisle 185.
EDIT: I think it is the withdrawal of the Stagecoach in Cumbria 1754 Carlisle - Hexham through Gilsland; now replaced by an 1807 in line with the other services. Due to Cumbria County Council funding cutbacks.

All the Sunday Newcastle-Hexham buses have been re-timed too, with the withdrawal of the 0834 Newcastle-Hexham also. It would appear the Saturday 1407 from Carlisle to Newcastle has gone too but that might be a mistake

I find this change actually a bit annoying, why don't they change the 'best one X1' to a different number, the X1 (Durham-Middlesbrough) has been a lot more long standing than the previous!

You wouldn't believe how long this has been debated over!
The problem we had was the X1 'Best One' goes with the 1/1b out of Darlington, to renumber that would probably mean re-numbering the whole town network - so it was decided that it was easier to re-number the Durham X1. Still not an ideal situation I agree but they don't want two duplicate MAX numbers.
Arriva bus changes! - R852 PRG - 08 Dec 2014
Bit confused with something regarding the timetables for Service 85/685.
Basically, I'm planning a bit of a Hexham-day over the Christmas period as a last minute decision, and I checked Arriva's 85 times. There is one leaving Hexham at 13:22 and arriving in at Newcastle at 14:18. However, after checking Stagecoach's times, there is a 685 leaving at exactly the same time; and arriving at exactly the same time. Very confusing.
I did notice the Arriva times I checked were recent changes, have they taken over this run, or something? Or is Stagecoach just behind in changing their timetables?
Cheers!

There is only one bus leaving at 13:22, which should be a Stagecoach one - the timetables show both operators, the Arriva one is shaded in grey, and the Stagecoach one should have a code near the top

No problem - and a single was £2.35 the last time I used it, as I'm guessing you would want to know that too
RE: Arriva bus changes! - Adrian - 08 Dec 2014
@Marcus - You do realise that the 85/685 doesn't go to the Metrocentre, don't you?

(07 Dec 2014, 10:53 pm)northern156 Does anyone know why the 86/685 has been issued a new timetable starting from today please?Sunday buses from Hexham to Newcastle now leave @ 32 minutes past instead of 44 minutes past - which is a pain for me (and it seemed several other people today).
I used to catch the Arriva bus back from Hexham after arriving @ 14 past on the GNE TEN with time for a quick shop - I can't manage it by 32 past so I will now get the GNE TEN @ 21 past with a long wait.
Four adults who had arrived to catch the 44 past Arriva decided to catch the train instead, and another passenger had missed the 44 past and had to wait for 48 minutes for the next one at 32 past.
I understand why Arriva has deleted the 25 minute layover wait in Hexham in favour of an immediate turnaround but it will mean losing passengers to GNE IMO (though those wanting to access the north bank of the Tyne east from Corbridge will have to catch the Arriva of course).
Rant over!
RE: Arriva bus changes! - northern156 - 14 Dec 2014
The connection in Hexham used to be a bit risky between Arriva and Stagecoach so I always used to catch GNE'S (can't remember if it would've been a 602/10 or not).
RE: Arriva bus changes! - Jimmi - 15 Dec 2014
From January the X24 will run Saturdays only, so it will no longer run on Sundays and weekdays during school holidays.

RE: Arriva bus changes! - tyresmoke - 18 Dec 2014
Great to see us get our dedicated school service after pushing for it! I've not seen the timetable til now but I know a box of 805 timetables were sent to Nunthorpe Academy the other day as I was going to pinch one until we realised they were for the school! lol
