Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Dan - 14 Jul 2023

(14 Jul 2023, 5:17 pm)Michael Changes to Sunderland services 99 & 939 from Monday 24 July 2023


https://www.stagecoachbus.com/service-updates/serviceupdatesarticle?SituationId=ID-14/07/2023-17:19:48:945


looks like Stagecoach are still running the 6:55am from Sunderland Interchange and 16:38pm from Teams Valley


The contract for those two journeys on the 939 renews in September.

Shouldn’t be too long before operators find out the results of those contracts.

I’m happy that the service for the 39/40 on a Sunday has increased to 10 mins it is going to massively increase when they come so I don’t have to wait an extremely long 20 mins.

They’re still operating every 20 minutes each, otherwise it’d mean they’d be more frequent On a Sunday then the rest of the week.

I take any I don’t go to a different place. I don’t use the ones direct to Walker or Wallsend nor Chapel House or Dumpling shall I just take what comes first.

Interesting to note service 37 Whickham View to Cramlington appearing , suspect some are schools and others timings as there’s no way the SS 10/11 will have schools put on them given they’re a contract between Low Simonside and North Shields.

This suggests that Stagecoach are also looking to replace the Arriva North East 52 service to Cramlington and 55 service to Forest Hall, as a 37 and 38A respectively.

Interesting move after Go North East had already registered the 352 - 355 services.

Believe Forest Hall will still operate as service 38 as it previously did when the service was first introduced hence internally known as Benton, with the 38A being its current 3 trips on a morning. Will be interesting to see the fate of the current FLE trips on weekend mornings as I can’t see them being kept when Forest Hall becomes a terminus.

They'll be replaced by 37's or stay the same I'd guess. They only exist when the 52 doesn't exist to keep the Freeman to FLE link.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - markydh - 21 Jul 2023

I know that the final decision by Arriva to withdraw all these services wasn’t made until relatively recently, but I wonder if these extensions to the 38 are the reason extra E400 MMCs were diverted from the South West? Both Newcastle depots were already struggling to cover all the daily decker PVR and have struggled with this for a long time.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - V514DFT - 21 Jul 2023

Wow back to my childhood of the 38 serving Forest Hall again

A "bus war" in Forest Hall of all places!!


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Rob44 - 22 Jul 2023

how come its taken arriva to pull of of this area for stagecoach and GNE to start a sop called bus war? Are they both frightened of the power of this german owned company?


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Dans_bus_photos - 22 Jul 2023

It might not be a bus war, could it not be the 2 operators working together to maintain the half hour frequency currently operated by Arriva? As the Go North East services are only operating hourly the 37/38 extensions might well be hourly too.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - F114TML - 22 Jul 2023

Not sure about the other areas, but of the Sunderland ones, only the 18 interworks with a scholars now.

One may hope the 16 change is to even out the standing time at either end of the route (14 min at one end and 1 min at the other is a bit rediculous). Not sure what the 23 one's all about as it seems fine, maybe just giving a bit more running time and taking a bit of standing time (lol, they're probably taking a bus off and tightening the arse off it)? X1 will be to do with the changes on 16 and 23 no doubt, as it now interworks with both.

Ah cheers, thank you for the additional information.


The 16 is horrendous, the 7:44am from Hastings Hill is constantly late sometimes by at least 10 minutes.
