(03 Jan 2018, 7:44 pm)Andreos1 I find that H1 service almost laughable. I assume STH visiting times don't extend beyond mid-afternoon?

[New Service H1
New service H1 will provide direct connections between Hebburn and South Tyneside Hospital between approximately 9.30am and 2.30pm.]
This service will not last for long due to 2:30pm end time esp with Hosptial Visting times in Afternoon 2 to 4pm and 7-8pm would have been better to end it at 8:30pm.
It should be 9am to 8:30pm non stop Hourly, serving Shields Town Centre, Hospital, Jarrow Bus Station and Hebburn Town Centre only. That would get more people using it? I think GNE may choose omnicity as stand in for 6 months if not they should use Solo bus.

H1 is going to be operated by Deptford, probables be a Solo or a Scania.

In Jarrow Bus Station, services 26 and 27 will use stand E towards Newcastle. Service 26 towards South Shields will use stand A, with service 27 towards South Shields using stand C.]
Jarrow Stand A 26 should be with 27 @ stand C not to confuse people.
Anyword about Ticket prices and what services included? because they will need New Day & Weekly Ticket South Tyneside & Crusader?

(03 Jan 2018, 7:56 pm)Dan Of course; you'd also be assuming that there's a high demand for a direct service to the hospital from Hebburn, too, if you're suggesting that the current service level is better (or not as 'laughable'), providing a direct link between these two locations all day long.
I wonder what Go North East's ticket data would suggest? I would assume it suggests there isn't such a high demand, or they wouldn't be changing the services as they stand?

(03 Jan 2018, 8:59 pm)Andreos1 When Kickstart was giving support and Partnerships were launched, https://www.nexus.org.uk/news/item/south...k-launched it would be easy to assume that improvements would be made and maintained. Particularly with services that provided a social need.
Whilst I appreciate the 88 may have suffered with reliability over the last however many months, I wouldn't have guessed it would have caused so much damage that the service was no longer viable. Particularly one which has hundreds of people going in and out of the hospital building it passes on a daily basis - both before and after this H1 starts and finishes for the day.
Indeed, the excuses regarding reliability have been trotted out (despite the works at Lindisfarne being completed for a number of months), rather than any references to viability (as seen in the extract Jimmi provided regarding the 64/95).
It also looks like the H1 service is designed around scholars contracts (correct me if I am wrong).
Changes to suit GNE's agenda or one to accomodate passenger requirements?

The new 9 branding is certainly something...
