RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - South Tyne Lad - 08 Jun 2016
(08 Jun 2016, 9:03 am)peter Isn't a versa a midibus? While a minibus is a Solo SR or an MPD?
Yes
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Tom - 08 Jun 2016
Some info about the changes:
Service 10/10A/10B (Hexham/Blackhall Mill/Prudhoe Rail Station – Ryton – Blaydon – Metrocentre – Newcastle)
Revised timetable to better reflect actual journey times. Service 10A extended hourly from Rockwood Hill Estate (Mon – Sat daytime) to serve High Spen, Chopwell and Blackhall Mill replacing withdrawn Service 11 over this section.
Service 11 (Blackhall Mill – Chopwell – High Spen – Greenside – Crawcrook – Ryton – Blaydon – Newcastle)
Service withdrawn due to low passenger usage. Revised services 10A and 12/12A provide partial replacement facilities.
NEW SERVICE 11/11A/11X (Metrocentre – Lobley Hill – Gateshead – Newcastle – Wallsend – Royal Quays – Whitley Bay)
New service replacing the current 96/96A between Newcastle and the Metrocentre and then extended to Wallsend, Royal Quays and Whitley Bay providing new links. Monday to Friday peak AM journeys will operate as 11X between Dunston, Lobley Hill, Gateshead, Newcastle and onto Cobalt providing replacement for withdrawn 58X trips.

Sounds quite good, looks like the PVR will go up on the TEN.
11/11A/11X - Scania's?
Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - TEN 6083 - 08 Jun 2016

As long as there isn't that awful metrocentre branding on them like intu have chosen for X66 & S1

It wouldn't make sense to dedicate the route branding of the 11 service to the Metrocentre - it's one hell of a route, with much more to offer than links to the Metrocentre!

I'm not sure.
I believe the 58 is being reduced to every 12 minutes so I wonder if the Versas will be used on the 42?

Surprised as i always thought the 58 was one of their busiest services.....then again, they dropped the 56 down to every 12 minutes.

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - L469 YVK - 08 Jun 2016
It's ok, found it on the Crawcrook newspage. Wonder how they managed to get a hold of that information though?
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Tom - 08 Jun 2016
(08 Jun 2016, 7:31 pm)L469 YVK Where did you find this out?
My grandma lives on the route and she had a letter through the door or something about it, then I checked the facebook page and it was on there.
She is not pleased that about it as the 11 provides a way faster link than the 10 to Newcastle. Wonder how the 10 will cope as when I get it there it's busy enough!

Wonder where the extra bus will come from for the TEN as it looks like the PVR might increase...

God knows they don't even have enough B9s to cover the PVR anyway do they?

With 6084, they do. If any of the Tyne Tees Xpress Volvo B9TLs are VOR, 6084 should be allocated to the X9/X10 as preference (with a B7 Gemini filling the void on TEN).

Maybe the Cobalt Clipper frequency is being reduced so one of them B9s will move to the TEN?
I'd imagine the 10A extension will only need 1 bus anyway
