(13 Jun 2017, 5:21 pm)missedbus With the E1, E2 and E6 moving out, GNE and Nexus have taken the opportunity to rejig the stands used, basically meaning that the island stands S, T and V will be very little used, with the only daytime service being the 700 and X36 .

700 doesn't stop in stand V anymore it stops at Stand H

X36 is withdrawn in July so from July no services will use the middle stands.

Seems a waste of bus station now, as more buses are getting pulled out

Maybe Stagecoach could come back in and have stand S, T and V. (one way - so towards Plains Farm/Springwell etc only) 


Stand S - 3/12/13 
Stand T - 4,  8, 16, 23
Stand V - 10/11/20

By me the interchange was built at wrong place, should of built the bus station at the alternative site before deciding to built it with the metro station combined, the alternative site was where Debenhams is now with buses coming in from green terrace and exit out onto crowtree road with the stands as lane then it would of been combined with the bridges extension, Debenhams should of been built on the old park lane bus station and depot.

(12 Jun 2017, 9:18 pm)BusLoverMum That's a whole hour's worth!

Any delays on the X21 or X12?

IIRC, the 50 is run by Washington, now and the 21, as ever, Chester le Street. The 21 is due new buses, at some point within the next year or so, though the X9/X10 is getting them first as it has a much more pressing need for buses that aren't completely knackered!

Ok thank you, is the 50 due new buses do you know?

Why are all the MPDs suddenly being withdrawn?

Doubt the 50 will get new buses anytime soon, it was said the new few years, orders on single deckers will be low.

The 2 MPD's at Deptford were withdrawn as both are off road and it wasn't worth them being fixed as they'll be replaced soon anyway.... They would gone in July anyway with the X36 getting withdrawn.

Route details for the 2/2A and 39 may be added yet, hence the current placement.

If it is decided not to add route details, the gold banner will be moved down. Unlikely that route details will be added, as this would mean they'd have to be allocated to specific services.

In that case, i'll let them off Tongue

I wouldn't add route details, but I would suggest that, to take advantage of services 2/2A and 39 being under the same brand and to the same specification, they could advertise the 7/8 minute frequency from Chester Road to Ryhope Road via City Centre. This maybe should be done via the timetable or service tabs on the website rather than on the buses themselves though, just to keep all buses within the brand looking the same.

(14 Jun 2017, 11:26 am)OW1762 Wait the verses are going?

The remaining Versa's should be leaving Deptford once there's enough Streetlites to replace them.

Not confirmed though, maybe some from Go North East could confirm fleet movements.

Edit: 

Seen this on Dan's photo:

 
The existing Scania L94UB/Wright Solar vehicles on service 39 will be re-allocated to services 38 and 61, while the Optare Versas are expected to transfer out of Deptford Depot, for fleet standardisation

I hope they plan on removing the Free WiFi and NSA symbols from the rear of 627 (and I imagine the rest of the 2011 solos) soon!

3891 has its original registration (NK51 UCU) back too.
