(04 Aug 2016, 7:20 am)Adrian Ive received the following from a local councillor. It looks like councillors and presumably other stakeholders have been sent the following comms.

Looks like Get Around weekly and monthly tickets are decreased, 90p fares now £1 but peak scrapped, and day tickets frozen.

(04 Aug 2016, 10:03 am)Jamie M Is 353 the only bus to head out of a zone and terminate back inside it? Airport is inside T&W, The next stop is inside northumberland, whilst FLE is back in T&W.
How does this work with network one passes et cetera?

I've never seen anyone board in Prestwick while on the 353, There's no timetables up there either. And the Bus Stops are just Wooden Poles with the old style Arriva Flags there from the late 90s early 00s.

Then there are the services that start/finish in Co Durham and enter T&W for a short while, such as the 265.

Never heard that one before, what's even wrong with the vykings? I've been on about 4 of them on the 9 and they've all gotten shifting easily, albeit with a huge noise.

Aren't some going to Chester-le-Street? Think I heard that said before but not 100% on that. Think the Vykings can stay at Deptford as I think they mainly only do short 9's and peak time 265's, also Chester-le-Street have Lolyne's that need replacing.

Next question, what happens to the 327? 2 of the 4 buses are Loynes. I'm interested to see the proposed solution.

Id say 3885-3887/3889 to Percy Main, 2 of which will replace 3866/3867

(04 Aug 2016, 8:18 am)Andreos1 DCC have a list on their website, showing which schools have a supported service and which don't. There are others apart from Park View and St Bedes (such as Hermitage), but I have no idea if GNE provide a commercial scholars service to those schools.
The ironic thing is, that commercially it could backfire - quite a number of those schools have GNE services operating in the vicinity who will be essentially undercutting the scholars service.

Go North East provide the 834 to the Hermitage, it runs onto the 08:34 34A to Waldridge Park afterwards.

Serious question.

Why is it that the Langley Park bound 13's and 14's head a slightly different route out of Durham City Centre? From Millburngate the 13 turns left and heads past the old County Hospital and St
Leonards School to reach the roundabout outside County Hall (like the Arriva 64 & peak time 7's do) whilst the 14 heads straight along Framwellgate Peth to reach the roundabout outside County Hall. I've never understood why this is the case.

That used to be the case with the Arriva 63/64, too. it's an odd one.

Timings? Framwellgate Peth is the quicker of the two rputes and bearing the mind the route the 14 takes from UHND towards Sacriston, versus the 13, those few minutes might make the difference to having the current PVR and timetables that work.
