(01 Feb 2014, 9:28 am)andreos1 Wonder how they are going to get back to the depot where they parked the car at the start of their shifts? Wink

Though I'm unaware of how true this is, a driver told me last night that there would be a bus running between the two places this evening.

Staff Shuttles from Riverside?

Also Riverside is gaining routes 29/67/69/S1 from Saltmeadows from tonight

Apart from the SPD's, which other buses will head off in a different direction from Riverside tonight?

Oh and changes to TEN, Toonlink, Blaydon Racers, CityLink and Fab56 from tomorrow.

I would expect something is arranged for them, not just this evening, but throughout the day for those on early shifts too.

Photo opportunity? :p

X66 from Gateshead. No different to when they parked their cars at Sunderland Road and had to get to Gateshead Metro to clock on, just a bit further Tongue There is a shuttle bus running on a night time between Riverside and Gateshead for drivers who take a bus to Depot mid shift and then have their meal break at Gateshead. Think this operates between 6 and 9. Likewise them that start around 3pm, will somehow need to get to Gateshead to start their shift, but park their car at Riverside for when they return a bus around Midnight.

Most duties during the day will still clock on at Gateshead Metro for Eastern Gateshead services, so if you do not collect or return a bus to Riverside you will just go to Gateshead Metro. In time the same will apply for Western Gateshead services as these will be changing drivers at the Metrocentre.
