Surprised at stagecoach running a Saturday service on a bank holiday Monday. Buses are running around empty. Saw 3 4s and a 13 at Doxford carrying fresh air. A Saturday service would of been better on Boxing Day. Strange as go north east are running Sunday timetables

Like that most days, be even less people using it today as it's a bank holiday.

Numbers will pick up a bit, but with the changes at end of the month, who knows how the passenger numbers will be effected but the route changes to the 18/19 can't do as bad as the current routes....



Online fares are changing from Sunday 15th January 2017
From Sunday 15th January 2017, online megarider ticket prices will change.

Seems to have been some issues with the level crossing at Tile Shed Lane in Boldon Colliery, affecting service X34 today: https://t.co/6BXPisc6Dl

A diversion along the A194 and A19 was in place and it appears that a seperate shuttle bus service ran as well.

Yeah was havoc for first few hours as obviously no one there was a fault. Nor what the diversions were and pity the poor folk who were stuck on the buses between the crossings with nowhere to go. I was lucky the depot informed me which route the diversion was going and which stop to head for before it was announced on social media sites.

The extra strain on the Lindisfarne Roadworks caused by the diversion of Traffic onto there must've resulted in chaos, As 19646 diverted through Brockley Whins while in service, Was a pretty weird sight seeing it pass my house!

Could explain why the withdrawal of 22021 has not occurred yet?

I doubt it, As the last time I heard there was shortage's was when they had a Double Decker shortage before the E400MMC's arrived, There should be enough single decker's to cover all service's.

Bare in mind that the Kinetics aren't all out yet, and they're included in seeing off all the 03/53 plate MANs. Although many have moved to disposal, there are a handful operating out of the reserve fleet, which include 22021 - plus that one has LED hanovers, so could be a contributing factor for it still plodding on.
