RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2015 - Youngymmv - 05 Jun 2015
There's some rumours flying about that x34 in South Shields could be first in North East to move to gold standard with second hand e400s from Oxfordshire. Is there any substance to this?
Kind regards
Chris

Next time we should be getting second hand Enviro 400s at stagecoach on Teesside inside of Dennis trident want we got in the first place it should have been Enviro 400 that we gotin first place that I think not Dennis trident.

I think there's potential for it being a gold service though my suggestion is get scania E400s in gold spec, Make it run later than the last departure from pilgrim street which I think is around 9pm, maybe last service 11:30 pm to Horsley hill ...... maybe run it into Eldon square instead of pilgrim street but yeah, it would be good if it happened
RE: Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2015 - Youngymmv - 05 Jun 2015
Believe it's 6 in total, so maybe a pvr increase with an increased service. All speculation at the moment of course but we will have to wait and see
Kind regards

As much as I would love to see this happen I don't know if the demand is there as it stands, however it's not been done before so it's hard to say...what would the passenger numbers need to be like to make a profit?

I cant seen stagecoach on teesside getting enviro 400 but it like there will get more Dennis tridant I think.

Oh dear!
After this photo was taken it was taken out of service although with a dent that looks as bad as this, I think it should have been taken out of service before this.

Im not so sure but im sure the x34 makes a profit, more than half of the bus coming or going from Newcastle pays something then the rest is pensioners
the late evening journeys would make a profit because people are coming from nights out, work and late night shopping, so each service should make a bit of a profit.

May well have just happened though. Not sure I would have driven it with that damage mind

Especially turning left here where people are often at least part in the road so this could have resulted in serious injuries to pedestrians.
No idea when this happened but I think the first opportunity he could have stopped that's what should have been done.

Hmm, you make a good point. But what about the 8:30 journey? As much as that seems like a good service it's not exactly crowded, so unless they used a smaller bus it's a risk nonetheless, then again this service would take customers away from the metro

As much as that seems like a good service it's not exactly crowded, so unless they used a smaller bus it's a risk nonetheless, then again this service would take customers away from the metroThe whole idea of this service is to Enable those a passengers of south shields and boldon who do not have easy access to a metro station To Enable an easier passage direct to Gateshead and newcastle. I work late evenings and Sundays and would give my right arm to have the x34 operate later at night and Sundays and bank holidays. The way it is at the moment I have to endure a 20 mins walk off the metro through the so called 'nature reserve' to get home. Which isn't always a safe route.
