(02 Jul 2016, 7:31 pm)Adrian Severe congestion in the town about midday. No idea what the cause was, as I just avoided it instead.
A1 was a nightmare around the same time too. My X24 was 25 minutes late into the Metrocentre, and I'd gotten on it on time in Durham!

(03 Jul 2016, 4:55 pm)Andreos1 I didn't.
Apart from concentrating on my driving, I was looking at the blind (incase it was an odd working on diversion).
I then got distracted by the number of people on the bus.
The only service which operates along there, is the 237. So taking in to account the time of day (and the fact there were people on the bus), it couldn't have been that.

(03 Jul 2016, 5:26 pm)citaro5284 I believe that some journeys on 237 are moving to Peterlee, so maybe a spot of route learning.

(03 Jul 2016, 6:05 pm)MurdnunoC Quite a few are from South Tyneside including one or two from the Brockley Whins area who would probably benefit from improved reliability on the 88/88A I imagine.

I'm from South Shields too and think we need a big revision altogether. Since Jarrow and Shields depot closed we have seen a big decline. There are loads of areas that have no GNE services at all, but previously did. There is no competition between SNE and GNE either.
(03 Jul 2016, 6:11 pm)South Tyne Lad Me! The 88/88A stop a few metres from me and the 5 is a short walk over the " Banana Bridge " over the A19.
Anyways the 88/88A are by far worse than the 5/50 and 50A, especially at Peak Times ( School Start/End , Town Centre Traffic etc )
They need more running time, With the 88/88A needing a PVR increase.

(03 Jul 2016, 6:11 pm)Andreos1 Not doubting what you're saying, but I have to ask.
Why we're they in an MPD and not a Peterlee vehicle?

(03 Jul 2016, 6:13 pm)BusLoverMum Aye - Big'un got a snap of the 58 travelling up Newgate street, ast the Coop. We got off the 96 in its usual place opposite the Odeon around 1pm, though, so it must have just been for the bike ride. (I make no apologies for naming long since closed down establishments - those buildings will always be those places in my mind! I'e only just gotout of the habit of calling John Lewis, Bainbridge's)
