Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(11 Oct 2022, 11:03 am)Rob44 this isnt unique to GCT either though. had both arriva and GNE happen to me a million times ( no im not exaggerating)In my experience its one of 3 things
Nice to see that Arriva bothered to check the timetables before releasing them on their website for the Newcastle changes.
The 43, 44, 45, 51, 52 and 53 timetables are all very wrong. The right timetables are on Traveline now though for anyone who actually needs them.

I hope that will involve sending out a fresh bus & driver otherwise interworking with the 306 will be chaos!

It was raised to under 16s a few years ago, I remember when they upped it from U14...days before my 16th!
(11 Oct 2022, 7:17 pm)omnicity4659 It was raised to 16 a few years ago.If I was to get a student Regionwide ticket for 5.60 would they accept a college badge as proof of ID or my provisional or both? And whats the age limit on student Regionwide Day tickets and do you think that just my provisional would be fine?

One thing I wish for when it comes to Arriva is single tickets, like I know lots of people who go to East Durham College who use Arriva and when they don't have their lanyard to get to college and they've been charged, they always get charged different amounts. When travelling on the 22/23 your ticket price depends on the driver. Like my other friend got the 22 from Sunderland to Durham and each time she was charged different amounts.
(11 Oct 2022, 7:22 pm)mb134 Depending on how old you are, you can possibly get the student day ticket without a college badge. The Arriva student tickets officially are "young persons" tickets, and as such can be bought by anyone with valid student ID OR by anyone under the age of 19.Some of the drivers pretty aggressively seek proof of age, though. We've had run ons with particular Polish driver who used to do the 22 and 64 hut now appears to be on the 6 rota, since Eldest was about 12.

(12 Oct 2022, 11:32 am)Kuyoyo Given the website updates are done by the national customer service team based in Luton whereas the raw timetable data is done by the North East Commerical Team who are now based at Stockton depot, issues are likely to crop up especially with how quickly they wanted to upload the new timetables (understand from speaking to the Commerical Member who was responsible for the Teesside and County Durham changes that their rush resulted in the original version of Stockton's 7/7A timetable being dispatched instead of the updated version - the original was prior to the understanding that the extension to Kirklevington was needed 7 days a week, meaning Stockton's Sunday PVR on the Stockton routes remains at 5 as present but 7B board will start 3 hours earlier than it presently does and also remain out for longer as well, finished on the last trip to Willey Flatts from Stockton at 1905 rather than presently finishing in the High Street at 1720).
All are now correct on the website however - although no timetable at present for the 22A.

(12 Oct 2022, 11:56 am)Storx Aye that's fair enough but surely someone would've noticed the seriously wrong timetable in particular for the 43/44/45.
https://api.arrivabus.co.uk/routes/servi...t-2022.pdf - 43 for example.
Not sure where that's even coming from if I had to be honest, seems to be the subsidised services maybe? I know the 52 and 53 are also missing the evening services. There could be some very confused passengers if they read them.
Mind I always thought they were done from a database and automated when you loaded them so learnt something new, similar to how Travelline I believe works.
