RE: GNE Bus Changes. - nk55 - 14 Dec 2014

163 used to go through success and turn left at the end of the road, 160 used to operate through newbottle then both services operated towards new lambton. Redby only operated the 161 which ran at 10 & 40 every hour, wear buses left sunderland at 00 & 30

Here are the 16x series timetables circa February 1998 if that clarifies anything for anyone.

GNE Bus Changes. - cbma06 - 14 Dec 2014

There's loads of alternates of the 16# series over the years.


RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Michael - 15 Dec 2014

Just noticed that GNE are only running the 706/707 between 9:14am and 13:44pm, will Stanley travel run rest of the times because if not the timetable has being well cut down

I was wondering the same thing when I looked at the timetable.

I'm pretty sure I still see the services operating when I finish work at around 3pm.


RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Dan - 15 Dec 2014

Potentially because that's all Go North East could justify running commercially - the loadings may be lower outside of those hours.


RE: GNE Bus Changes. - S813 FVK - 15 Dec 2014

Go North East will operate all runs except service 708 (which as i understand was part of the cancellation for Stanley Travel suggesting that this particular service won't operate anymore) only the services will finish some 3 hours earlier than they do currently. 

Currently, the last journey is a service 708 and departs Stanley Bus Station at 17:09 and arrives back at Stanley at 17:51
When the new timetable is introduced, the last journey will be service 707 and will depart Stanley Bus Station at 13:44 and arrive back at 14:12

Now baring in mind most people who use this service are OAPs, it is a wise decision to cut the service shorter than it actually is. I mean, its not as if they don't have the other services that go through Tanfield Lea, Catchgate and Annfield Plain although there are no other services that go through West Kyo, Harperley, Hamsterley Gardens or Fines Park.


RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Michael - 15 Dec 2014

With Sunderland changes coming here is how i think stand changes will occur at Park Lane:

Stand A – Metro replacement
Stand B – X21/22/23
Stand C – X7/61
Stand D - 60
Stand E – 38/238
Stand F - 2/2A towards Silksworth 
Stand G - 700
Stand H – 39/73
Stand J – 2/2A towards Washington 
Stand K – 8/78/78A
Stand L – 35/35A/36 – Towards Houghton, Chester- le- street
Stand M – X1, X35
Stand N – 20/20A - Durham
Stand P – E1, E2, E6
Stand Q – 20/20A - South Shields
Stand R – 9
Stand S – 56
Stand T – 35/35A/36 – Towards North Sunderland, Heworth etc
Stand V – 135/136/700/X36

Would stick the 8 on T and swap allocations for L and around.

The 8 is then with other North Sunderland services - attracting passengers to it, who would ignore if it was left as it is.
Frequent services to Houghton on adjoining stands.

I was just thinking frequency wise, and so stands weren't congested but i agree 8 could do better if it was on Stand T, although it only passes through the enterprise park

Interesting!
Wonder what route the Q3 will take?

Quite a big stab in the dark.... could be the current X40 route interworking with the Q1/Q2 services and operating from Saltmeadows? Just have to see.

I would imagine the Q3 will replace the X40,like NK05 GWZ said in hes post and it looks like all of the Quaylink may be ran by GNE commercial, as citaro said this in the GNE thread about the Quaylink (as someone also posted about the Q1 and Q3 in there)

-----------------------------
here is the post...

Therefore one assumes Go North East have been awarded the QuayLink contract, however more interestingly is this Q3 is essentially replacing the X40 to great Park, wonder how thats going to work!

Or maybe a commerical operation?

Are the 21 changes registered earlier linked to the Front St closure as opposed to more hopeful fanciful re-routing through Newcastle?


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 28 Dec 2014

Does anyone know if the 2/2A will run a better frequancy on a Sunday when changes happen at end of January, as the current 42 runs every 15 minutes on a Sunday, with the 2A hourly, 2C hourly.

Also including late evening
