Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(23 Jul 2015, 3:14 pm)mb134 But, unless there is an alternative service, how are college students going to get to and from college?
Also, the students will still use the 35 if they do currently?

(23 Jul 2015, 3:22 pm)mb134 Okay, Ashington college has nothing to do with the 100 though, so students will still use the 35?

Possibly the start of August?

(25 Jul 2015, 10:06 am)tyresmoke Hopefully.... some other changes below
57/57A curtailed to terminate at Cramlington, no longer running to Morpeth. 57 will run via Cramlington hospital instead of Seghill, and won't serve Nelson village or North Seaton (all daytime journeys operated by Ashington depot. Evening/Sunday by Jesmond)

(25 Jul 2015, 9:52 am)tyresmoke Most of the major points are already known, like the X20 being extended to Alnwick and the 'short' X14 becoming an X16 to Kirkhill (will be operated by Jesmond)

(25 Jul 2015, 10:16 am)mb134 So if Blyth won't have the 57A/X14, will 1773/4/5 transfer to Ashington?
(25 Jul 2015, 10:19 am)GX03 SVC Will the X16 become MAX as part of the core Morpeth-Newcastle routes?

(25 Jul 2015, 3:04 pm)GX03 SVC That means Ashington won't operate the 57A/X14 either....
I second what Scott says, the wifi MPDs might move to Jesmond, that equals 6, but the PVR will be 3 I believe...
Haha, just re-read Tyresmoke's post, I'd not been awake long, alright?! 
Is WiFi a permanent fixture - or is it an easily transferable 'box' that can be plugged-in to any bus when needed?

(25 Jul 2015, 5:34 pm)Dan The big operators in the North East all use Icomera as their supplier to provide free Wi-Fi on buses. I understand that the kit can be transferred from one vehicle to another, but this incurs a cost.

(25 Jul 2015, 9:23 pm)tyresmoke Yup you're right Dan as the Ecocities all had it when first introduced at Darlington but we re-used the kit in other vehicles last year. Ironically the ones for the 21/X21 are now of course fitted!

As a complete ignoramus about bus WiFi, am I right in thinking that it uses mobile networks, so is never going to be any better than he connection on my phone anyhow, unless my data provider isn't covered in a particular spot that the bus provider is?
Had little luck connecting to bus WiFi over the past few months, but did manage it on a 21, heading towards Darlo, a few weeks ago, and found it painfully slow. Have given up trying on the Sapphire 22s.
