The timetable has the 'up to every 15 minutes' wording on it though.
Goodness knows.
Yeah, the direct Sunderland - N Shields is hourly during the day, but twice hourly on a night.
Jarrow - N Shields is twice an hour at all times, with the a bus doing a long run to N Shields, doing a short trip to Jarrow and back, before heading back on a full one to Sunderland.

(13 Oct 2016, 11:27 am)citaro5284 Has Dan as mentioned before if I remember rightly, the bit between Jarrow and North Shields is paid for by Nexus, so it is up to them how they want to spend the cash.

The new 9 is yet another idiotic, illogical timetable which is probably the start of the terminal decline of the through service - echoes of the X3. At the moment it's cut, cut, cut at GNE.

(13 Oct 2016, 12:38 pm)Jimmi Take it GNE weren't in much of a position of being able to change the times of the North Shields - Jarrow section of the route, can only assume Nexus wanted the service to stay half hourly on this section?
From my experiences of service 9, the 15 minutes frequency was overkill really, I don't know how many people travel the full route from the North Shields area to Sunderland but I can't imagine it's that many especially when you have the much more frequent Metro running between North Shields and Sunderland.
I feel that the new timetable isn't the best but most of us were heavily under the impression that the full route would drop down to half hourly, I feel it's better that the greater used section of the route (Sunderland - Jarrow) has a 20 minute frequency rather than the original assumption of it being half hourly, just a pity that there will only be one direct bus an hour between Sunderland and North Shields but I don't think many will be too badly affected by the changes.

(13 Oct 2016, 9:53 am)Michael Looks like the PVR has dropped from 7 to 4?
Probables means Deptford could run full Scania on it, if Deptford receive a couple of more Scania's (if Deptford are gaining it fully), as it looks like the School bus runs are dropped.
X1 dropping from every 10 minutes to every 12......PVR dropping from 14 to 12, but i would imagine it'll be like the 56, with one extra in the PVR so it'll be 13 PVR, then 1 branded spare.
Wonder if the changes, is the reason why 3943 has yet to be rebranded, probables move else where now.

(13 Oct 2016, 2:51 pm)missedbus New X1 PVR does appear to be 13, and the route has 10 minutes layover scheduled at each end off-peak. So very similar to the 56 and indeed the 27.

(13 Oct 2016, 9:28 am)Michael New timetables for the changes from the 6th November are starting to go on the "Go North East" site:
Note, that the new 2/2A timetable only shows those services now, not the 39, it's also down as "Go North East"
The 9 timetable though.... https://assets.goaheadbus.com/media/cms_...ov2016.pdf

(13 Oct 2016, 4:20 pm)Y935 ERG The new 9 timetable is horrendous, it's been done so awkwardly, for example the 10:15 from Sunderland runs to North Shields, then does a round trip on the shorts then runs from North Shields to Sunderland then does the 12:55 to Jarrow then comes back to Sunderland then does the 13:35 short to Jarrow and back then does the 15:15 from Sunderland then comes back from North Shields all the way to Sunderland then does full round trips until end of service.

(13 Oct 2016, 4:49 pm)Tom So will Deptford be taking over the runs? They probably are judging by Vosa but to me the timetable looks like it has been designed for Percy Main to take it over as there won't be any buses that won't run to North Shields if you know what I mean

(13 Oct 2016, 5:00 pm)South Tyne Lad Looks more likely, It looks more designed for Deptford imo, The last North Shields round trip leaves Park Lane at 2250 and the last bus out of Park Lane ( The former Howdon Terminator ) -
Leaves at 2320.
The North Shields round trip returns from NS at 2324 for a 0014 arrival at PL and dead to Deptford, While the Jarrow short is dead from Jarrow to Deptford ( A Journey of around 13 mins down the A19 )
Dead mileage on the morning however is pretty severe, Atleast one or two runs to North Shields from Deptford through the tunnel, There could be a case of two Percy runs on a morning but I doubt that one.
