RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 11 Jun 2023

(11 Jun 2023, 2:37 pm)RobinHood Any idea of the plans for the 39?

No idea, did hear talk of it being tweaked somewhat and interworking with something - after all, the 10/34 interworking hasn’t worked and unless you use one of the saved buses to run the 34 standalone (a PVR of 3 which would probably leave it struggling to cover costs), it’s going to have to interwork with something.

Well Hopefully this will make 36/37/38 more requent they are their flagship kind of routes they could make the 36 every 10 minutes

I don't think that is likely to be honest.

In much the same way Arriva are reducing in Tees Valley, rumours are these changes are also reductions, albeit to frequency so probably not as impactful.

Reductions nonetheless.

RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 12 Jun 2023

(11 Jun 2023, 1:03 pm)Kuyoyo That's just one AM and one PM trip though - the rest of the day, it's dead. Understand the rumour is it will go hourly - as will the 13, which will be extended to the Parkway Centre as well. 57/58 are rumoured to be dropping to a combined 15 minute frequency all day rather than just on afternoons as present (likely to result in an all day interworking pattern with the 52 once again), the 59/61 rumoured to be dropping to every 20 minutes (loadings haven't picked up on that),the 10 and 34 interworking will be dropped due to timekeeping issues (mainly with the 34). The biggest shock of the rumours is the 12 - dropping from every 12 minutes to every 20 minutes.

All bar the 35 changes are now listed on Bus Times' Cleveland Transit LTD registration page and it seems some of the rumours are off the mark

10: Monday to Sunday service. Peak Monday to Friday journeys advanced/retarded with additional running times to provide greater reliability due to prevailing traffic conditions. No changes to off peak or weekend times.
12: Monday to Sunday service. Monday to Saturday daytime frequency reduced to every 15 minutes.
13/13A: Monday to Sunday service. Monday to Saturday daytime frequency reduced to hourly.
13B: Journey to operate from Middlesbrough Bus Station to Acklam Hall Drive and to operate on Schooldays Only
34: Monday to Sunday service. Greater reliability at peaks. No changes to off peak or weekend times.
36/37/38: Monday to Sunday services. Minor changes to service 37 on Sunday mornings to improve reliability.
39: Monday to Sunday service. To operate via Wilson St towards Mboro Bus Stn. Minor changes to pm Monday to Friday peak times to improve reliability.
52: Monday to Sunday service.Monday to Saturday daytime frequency reduced to every 20 minutes. The service will be operationally linked to service 61 on most occasions.
57/58/58A: Minor changes to timetable. Some early morning Monday to Friday journeys previously 58A to be replaced with approximately equivalent service 58 journeys.
59: Monday to Sunday service.Minor changes to timetables and daytime frequency to continue at every 15 minutes daytimes. No longer operationally linked to service 61 in most cases. Minor changes to pm peak schooltime journeys to improve reliability.
61: Monday to Sunday service. Monday to Saturday daytime frequency reduced to every 20 minutes. The service will be operationally linked to service 52 on most occasions.

1: Monday to Sunday service. Minor changes to Monday to Friday timetable. Certain am journeys retimed slightly to cater for changes to start time at High Tunstall College.
3/3A: Monday to Saturday service. One Monday to Friday am journey retimed slightly to cater for changes to start time at High Tunstall College.
6: Monday to Sunday service. Monday to Saturday daytime frequency reduced to every 12 minutes. The service will continue to be operationally linked to service 7 on most occasions.
7: Monday to Sunday service. Monday to Saturday daytime frequency reduced to every 12 minutes. The service will continue to be operationally linked to service 6 on most occasions.
20/980: Monday to Friday service. 0702 ex Headland journey retimed to operate at 0657 and operate 5 minutes earlier throughout.

Well this is absolutely ridiculous changes for the 6/7 as half the time they can struggle to run them every 10 minutes especially if one of them breaks down and it’s quite common to see them run in twos as it is so all this is going to do is make things worse just so they can save on a few buses.

Whats the deal with the 1 and 2 in South Shields now?, has it been withdrawn?, theyre still of Stagecoach's website, but are yet to return if thats the case, they were "temporarily" withdrawn during Covid

1 and 2 in Shields have been on as long as i can remember. Spotted the 2 at the weekend when i was driving out of Biddick Hall on Sunday morning. They are incorporated as part of the 3 and 4 and are always included on their timetable. They havent had their own standalone timetable since late 90s early 00s when they ran all day all week.

We're they the old catch a bus routes?



RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Lollist - 13 Jun 2023

When will these changes go on the website and will it be for the 2nd of july. Are these changes confirmed or could they still change?

Also were any routes in Teesside (Cleveland Transit) temporarily withdrawn in 2020 that could come back

The Sunderland and South Shields changes are online, the posts above provide links to both sets.

Teesside ones

Live from 23 July, and given they are registered, likely pretty much confirmed.


Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 14 Jun 2023

From Labour for Trindon and Thornley's Facebook page:

Trimdon buse service update:

We have received confirmation that a contract is to be awarded to Stagecoach following open tender to reinstate the hourly service between Hartlepool and Durham via Trimdon. This service will replace the current temporary arrangement between Hartlepool and Kelloe with Gateshead Central and will continue to be numbered 59.

Full timetables for all changes will, in due course, appear on the Council’s transport information pages

Happy to be corrected, but would I be right in saying this is the first time Stagecoach has ventured into the post 1974 Co. Durham? I can't think of anything ever serving it.

No, the X90 between Darlington and Newcastle / MetroCentre certainly Newton Aycliffe, there was the short lived X55 from Stockton/Greatham to Newcastle which stopped at Dalton Park, there's a few scholars contracts nowadays too.

I believe if it’s true about the 59 this would be the first time Stagecoach will have had a service in Durham City.  

There are also rumours of streetlites from Sheffield depot moving to Hartlepool although it’s probably unlikely.
