(07 Feb 2016, 5:58 pm)Adrian Appreciate that, but I meant that if they run them on an evening, what's to stop them commercially branching out during the day? For the reasons I added to my previous post.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but if GNE do such a bad job with the 82/82A as made out, then you'd think another operator would capitalise on that? Given you've said yourself that it's generally well used.

Just a thought!

I would say the timetable needs tweaking slightly to make the service a lot more reliable, and the route sorted out in Birtley.

Yes it carries, but so does the 23, there's already competition.

(07 Feb 2016, 3:10 pm)Adrian In what way is it not performing well? I didn't think they'd release footfall or financial stats for individual stores?

I've only been in a handful of times, and found it to be quite busy.

If it's ok, I'll drop you a pm as to not take this off topic

Considering the vehicle doesn't meet DDA requirements, I think Go Norh Easts decision should be to fix it.

It has been reported to engineering to look at. If we cannot fix it internally, then Hanover's engineer will have to fix it. Sadly there is a process behind getting things fixed which takes time.

If there's a spare bus available, Percy Main are keeping that bus off the road. If there isn't a spare bus available, they're having to allocate that bus, instead of losing mileage.

One thing I've noticed recently of the timing of the 2/2a is getting worse. Sometimes only 3 mins or so is there roadworks on the route currently or am I unlucky?!

Thanks Steve, welcome to the forum


Which buses will the 5 and 50 be allocated, all Omnicities?, it would of been easier to merge them. If the 50A is not going to be serving Waterview park, i don't think they'll be service after around 7pm in that area?

Edit: New brand for the 5 and 50? - Whey aye five-0 will not work.

82B - its getting like the old Laser, to many letter variations and routes haha
