(13 Mar 2016, 8:12 pm)Michael Looking at the development maps for Seaburn, Morrisons will remain where it is and everything will be built around it, i'm not sure they would close the Seaburn one as it gets a lot of customers, i think its the only major retailer in the area for food shopping.For competition with the Economics, why not have it run from Park Lane - Seaburn?
Do you know when the one on Trimdon Street will open?
---------------
Looking at the current 99 route and the area's it covers
Silksworth is covered by the 13/33/33A/35A (Evening and Sundays)
Hospital - Many services
Pallion - Stagecoach 10/11/18/19
Hylton Retail - 8/35/35A/36/73
Castletown - 35/35A/36
Hylton Castle - 3/36
North Sunderland - 4/13/16/35/36
Seaburn - 18/19/E1/E2/E6
Really the routes are quite covered if the 99 goes, the only problem would be Pallion and Seaburn, as no other GNE buses will go there.

I can't see it beating a 10 minute frequency though.

(13 Mar 2016, 8:27 pm)cbma06 God knows when it will open lol, it was mentioned on skyscraper about the proposal closing down with seaburn store as it will be lucrative to morrisons to sell since its prime site, until it's confirmed it wouldn't be on the developed map of the proposed closure as the seaburn master plan is council.
Since morrisons in financial difficulty almost same as tesco, morrisons new stores will still be built at dalton park, trimdon street and Belmont, with closures of stores going ahead with seaburn as one of the closures in the north east

(13 Mar 2016, 8:34 pm)Michael Ah right, i view the skyscrapercity forum but i couldn't find the development map where it was saying Morrinsons would go.
I know they've closed the Castletown store, as my auntie lives in the area, she said it looks like Lidl will be moving in... really shocked to see they could close the Seaburn one, its always busy when i go.
I thought the new development would be a welcome site for them, more people moving in etc, looking at the Seaburn plans, i really hope they go ahead.

(13 Mar 2016, 8:47 pm)cbma06 It was mentioned that profits are down in the seaburn store year after year, it might make lot of money during summer months but not in winter months which the owners want profits all year round. BQ already halved there stores at trimdon street and at Belmont in preparation of morrisons taking the right hand side of the store.
About GNE doing a service to seaburn, can't see that happening as that area is carved up by stagecoach. Only services that GNE has done in seaburn is the route there took from dereg and secured service and service from an independent bus operators.

They won't close the Morrisons at Seaburn, Trimdon Street is miles away from.
There are other places where there is two Morrisons store close to each other, for example Preston Grange and Whitley Bay. There is two Morrisons within a 5 minute drive (if that) or about a 15 minute journey on the 17 / 17A. The reason they both remain open is that the Whitley Bay one covers Monkseaton, Whitley Bay, West Monkseaton and other surrounding areas, whilst Preston Grange covers Tynemouth, North Shields, Cullercoats etc.

(12 Mar 2016, 11:01 pm)Ambassador My only disappointment is the unnecessary low fell diversion. Surely the 1,21,29 and X12 already provide plenty of frequency.

(13 Mar 2016, 10:59 pm)dannygee So whats happening with 3859?

(13 Mar 2016, 8:07 pm)cbma06 Some passengers travel on service 99 between silksworth and enterprise park which if service 99 gets withdrawn then passengers can get service 33/33a and service 8, it's been suggested that when morrisons open at trimdon street that morrisons at seaburn will close and earmarked for housing developer with staff transferred to trimdon street, since service 99 gets a lot of passengers from Sunderland north estates to seaburn morrisons then it might spell the end of service 99 unless GNE runs the service from Sunderland to north estates via trimdon street.

(13 Mar 2016, 11:21 pm)dannygee Yep i agree that 3962-3965 should be used on dfds.
Also does anyone know who is doing metro replacements for the two week closure. Again ideal for percy main
