RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Andreos1 - 10 Oct 2019 (10 Oct 2019, 2:45 pm)JP6004 Even if the 93 turned left prior to the roundabout and used the 'bus station', it would save time. To be honest, I've no idea why the road behind Mothercare can't be adapted to suit the buses and make it bi-directional for the entire length.
(10 Oct 2019, 3:11 pm)streetdeckfan It used to stop on the main road outside Retail World, but was curtailed to its current route a while back, due to the traffic heading in and out. The stop was just shy of where Mcdonalds is now, on the left hand side. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - JP6004 - 10 Oct 2019 (10 Oct 2019, 4:38 pm)Andreos1 Yes there was a bus stop on the mothercare side but seems to be of taken away a while ago RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - deanmachine - 10 Oct 2019 (10 Oct 2019, 2:45 pm)JP6004 I just think the 58 would be much more deserving of a 'Decker allocation than the Loops. That actually does get busy enough all through the day to warrant them. I've driven the Loops in the past, as well as used them in College and I've never had a full standing load, outside of 8-9am on the 94. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - JP6004 - 10 Oct 2019 (10 Oct 2019, 5:24 pm)deanmachine Would be a bit of a downgrade to B9s. They aren't the nicest buses RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - deanmachine - 10 Oct 2019 (10 Oct 2019, 5:38 pm)JP6004 I don't see how they're a downgrade from a Versa, not like they have USBs and e-Leather, I'd rather have a seat on a B9 then be a sardine on a "nicer" Versa. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - BusLoverMum - 10 Oct 2019 (10 Oct 2019, 3:11 pm)streetdeckfan It did used to stop at the edge of the car park, opposite where topps tiles is. (edit to acknowledge that other people have made the same point!) RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 18 Oct 2019 PB0003954/797 Registered (Short notice) GO NORTH EAST LIMITED Route: Easington Lane, High Street to Newcastle, Eldon Square Bus Station Service number: X1 (X1A) Service type: Limited Stop, Normal Stopping Effective date: 03 Nov 2019 Variation applications Anymore details on this? RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Stanleyone - 24 Oct 2019 Couple of changes from 3rd of November. V9 re-routed to serve Elm Park (Shotley Bridge) X5/X15 extended from Consett to Shotley Bridge & Benfieldside (X5 clockwise loop / X15 anti-clockwise loop) pvr increase to 4. Changes on Vosa site for Lumier. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - WestDurhamSwift - 24 Oct 2019 Any reason for the Extension to the X5/X15, is it replacing something, or is it something new because of increased Demand? RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Stanleyone - 24 Oct 2019 (24 Oct 2019, 4:34 pm)Arcticrossy92 Any reason for the Extension to the X5/X15, is it replacing something, or is it something new because of increased Demand? It’s mainly going on unserved roads so increasing ridership. Also with Shotley bridge hospital being pretty much empty of services, I’d guess there might be a demand from the areas being served. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Wybus - 24 Oct 2019 (24 Oct 2019, 5:25 am)Stanleyone Couple of changes from 3rd of November. Although the extension doesn’t run at school times, so they won’t need any additional buses in total. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Stanleyone - 25 Oct 2019 (24 Oct 2019, 9:16 pm)Wybus Although the extension doesn’t run at school times, so they won’t need any additional buses in total. 1 bus will presumably go on an/pm scholars but a quick look at the following; 09:15 CBS 09:53 DBS arr 10:00 DBS dep 10:39 CBS arr 10:44 CBS dep Shotley Bridge loop 11:10 CBS arr Equal to 4 buses, currently 3. Hope that clears it. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Dan - 25 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 9:51 am)StanleyoneYes, it's essentially just one of the scholars buses finding work in between the AM/PM split.

So when the V9 reaches the end of Benfieldside Road in Shotley Bridge, it will turn right instead past Elm Park, up towards Medomsley then go down Ebchester Bank past the Derwent Walk Inn to Ebchester? Buses coming back from Chopwell will struggle going up Ebchester Bank the other way for sure if that is the case. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Stanleyone - 25 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 10:52 am)DH9 In my opinion if it’s a streetlite it will struggle, but some of those minibuses will be ok. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Andreos1 - 25 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 10:52 am)DH9 Assuming that these changes are connected to the conversation in the tender thread a few months back. https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=848&page=51 Not a bad little earner diverting one service and extending another, using a vehicle that would otherwise be standing idle. Hopefully the services are sustainable enough to last beyond the end of the funding. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Dan - 25 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 1:01 pm)Andreos1 Yes it is, other improvements to the services include retrofitting free Wi-Fi and Next Stop Announcements. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 25 Oct 2019 (25 Oct 2019, 1:04 pm)Dan Is that for all the Venture services? RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Jimbo - 30 Oct 2019 (24 Oct 2019, 4:34 pm)Arcticrossy92 Any reason for the Extension to the X5/X15, is it replacing something, or is it something new because of increased Demand?will this replace the Tesco bus T1 RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Jamie M - 31 Oct 2019 (30 Oct 2019, 8:39 pm)Jimbo I don't personally believe it will, somebody is paying out for that contract to run -- and it has stipulations about when and where you can board. |
