(22 Aug 2015, 3:16 pm)NK53 TKT Does anyone have a clue if the new 74 timetable has made any changes to reliability because on Friday nights the 16:08 from Hexham has arrived into Newcastle with me on before 18 minutes late. They chose to change earlier buses instead
The change to the timetable was to allow the bus being used to take up an extra run on 687 Corbridge - Hexham. this in turn comes off a 686 (as it did previously)
GNE therefore changed the times to allow extra time for the bus to get it back to Hexham to take up a run on the 74.
Delays can occur anywhere whether it be on the 686 at Wylam where the bus often has to wait several minutes for a train, or, the ongoing works at Cowgate and build of traffic on the Central Motorway can cause the bus to lose time especially on a Friday.
