(20 Jan 2014, 4:24 pm)CatsFast101 However that's no longer really relevant is it? (As per discussion in main GNE thread) As I understand they are just separate services now aren't they? Also these numbers/letter A and C services aren't used any more in GNE, expect Silver Arrows. However I agree that renumbering is just a waste of time, maybe if there was changes to the services maybe but no point in renumbering for the sake of it.

(21 Jan 2014, 8:42 am)CatsFast101 It was clear from the post I meant A/C lettering together. If you want to funny about you could argue 35A/35C however these don't represent the initial reason behind why use 2A/2C. As pointed out above it was supposed to be for anti clockwise and clockwise loop however silver arrows don't do a loop anymore and GNE have bother other services lettered like this expect the Laser Services which use the 'C' as way of identify the evening route to South Hetton. 36A/36C used to be part of this, however even these the 36 service don't use this lettering any more.

(21 Jan 2014, 4:10 pm)Adam Malarkey Yes does do a Loop from Fatfield heading towards The Galleries - 2C for example - via Harraton and Lambton to The Galleries, Then turns into a 2A and goes via Biddick and Fallowfield Way back to Fatfield, So therefore they a Clockwise/Anti Clockwise Loop of Washington, also as Mentioned Previously the 2A goes via Barnwell to Penshaw whereas the 2C goes via Shiney Row. As for the Lasers, that would be because the 35/35B finish at Low Moorsley, The 35A finishes at Rainton Bridge and the 35C finishes in South Hetton, Also the 35/35B and 35C go via Royal Hospital whereas the 35A goes straight through to Silksworth via Barnes Park, Not really hard to Understand why there Numbered A/B and C is it to be honest.

(21 Jan 2014, 5:58 pm)CatsFast101 Yes Adam interworking allows people to technically to do a clockwise and anticlockwise loop, but is through fares available? Unkess there is through fares you would need two Washington town singles. When it was launched the timetable was like a circular service (little bit like lets say 61).

2A Sunderland-Sunderland via Grindon, Barnwell, Fatfield, Biddick, Washington, Lambton, Harraton, Shiney Row, Grindon
2C Sunderland-Sunderland via Grindon, Shiney Row, Harraton, Lambton, Washington, Biddick, Fatfield, Barnwell, Grindon
But now you don't get a 2A through Shiney Row likewise or a 2C through Barnwell.

(21 Jan 2014, 6:15 pm)Adam Malarkey There is No Reason to change the 2A/2C Route to the above as the Route works like clockwork, it's a simple interworking 2C to 2A - 2A to 2C, either way your going have a 2A each way through Barnwell and a 2C through Shiney Row.

If I have been to Sunderland and opted to get on the 2A rather than 2C home due to it being cold or Whatever, I have stopped on at The Galleries and Continued my Journey to Lambton, Nothing the Driver can do if I got on with a Day Ticket, Otherwise I would think it's 2 Separate Journeys and No through Fares Available.

(22 Jan 2014, 12:26 am)pringlj GNE service numbers are very confusing , and always changing . Even their timetables are a rambling farce !

(22 Jan 2014, 12:53 am)speedwheels22 I hope this 29 is a good service shame about the 26 been changed so many times,so when will the deckers be in service for 309,310

(22 Jan 2014, 4:00 pm)northtynelinks2 Answer: we don't know, I don't know if its you but I seem to remember somebody asking that question a lot and was just been ignored, I hope this will stop people from asking and it satisfies you.

(22 Jan 2014, 4:14 pm)Michael Haha it was me, i just gave up

(22 Jan 2014, 4:16 pm)northtynelinks2 Lol, I didn't think it was fair that people were just ignoring comments. Still, why are they fussed about the rear dest? Its not like any passengers will see it.

(23 Jan 2014, 7:13 pm)BJ10VUS I like the idea of extending the links from Follingsby Park to Washington, but I'm not sure Go North East will be able to get rid of A-Line's service. Maybe it could be a possible 994 suggestion rather than a 'Washington Street Shuttle' suggestion?
