Currently the GNE X85 leaves Hexham a few minutes after the Arriva/Stagecoach 685 and chases it to Corbridge where it usually catches it up, in resulting chaos for passengers not knowing which one to catch as they both try to occupy the single bus stop.
The situation at Hexham is no better because the X85 has arrived as the X84 so is occupying one stand whilst the layover TEN is occupying the other departure stand.
The Arriva/Stagecoach comes in from Carlisle and has to dither as it usually has a layover of 3 minutes.
(25 Jun 2017, 6:44 pm)Malarkey Hmmm like 27 and 56 being reduced to operate every 12 minutes instead of every 10.
lets not forget the 27X either.
Maybe we should talk about the service reductions on the 23rd July while we are at it.
(25 Jun 2017, 7:07 pm)Michael We could but then we'll go off topic haha, i've heard the services which run every 10 minutes will be cut to every 12 minutes, and the
18 will go which isn't a surprise.
I'm sure the funding had ran out from a "Kick starter" fund, hence why they had to change those services.
Along with the upgrade of Citaro's on the X84/X85, if true.
(25 Jun 2017, 4:50 pm)citaro5284 I think you will be right there Michael - you got some insider info haha

(26 Jun 2017, 6:06 pm)busmanT With all the new buses over the last few years reducing spares is normal practice - it will only be the odd bus here and there, nothing significant.
Withdrawing services leads to buses being withdrawn - services aren't withdrawn just to allow buses to be withdrawn.

Stagecoach have recently reduced some of their services in South Shields from every 10 mins to every 12 mins, Go NE did that to a small number of services last year.
Why is the 18 going to be withdrawn?
Someone is leaking information here Michael....

From the GNE website:
5320 has returned from refurbishment and 5292 has now been sent for refurbishment.
5166 has been sold to Hopauctions.com, Goole.
(26 Jun 2017, 6:18 am)Dan It had been said previously that 4915 and 4922 would be heading to A-Line - the former for service work and the latter for preservation, given that 4922 is almost original internally, but perhaps a bit of 'Chinese Whispers' has occurred here. I suppose their Olympian sees regular use, so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

Go North East
Due to a vehicle issue, the X10 from Newcastle at 07:55 & from Middlesbrough at 09:30 will not be operating.
-----------------------------
Have any of 5468, 5472, 5473, 5575 entered service yet?
I would imagine when these enter service, the remaining Versa's will be moved out of Deptford?
-------------
When are Go North East expecting the refurbishments to the Crusader Citaro's to be finished?
(27 Jun 2017, 7:58 am)Michael Go North EastI was going to come up with some satirical questions to mock you, but you've used them all already!
