(05 Sep 2023, 6:17 am)Dyllan7817 S17 has been awarded back to stagecoach and starts from today

(05 Sep 2023, 5:25 pm)Jimmi In addition to this, service 6/6A will be starting tomorrow (Wednesday 6th September) but will only be operating between Hurworth - Darlington - Middleton St. George/Teesside Airport until the service is able to fully begin, effectively replacing the 12.

Timetable: https://connectteesvalley.com/data/timetables/6-6A_ST_060923.pdf

Hodgsons were running a school time only service (started today) between the Airport and Hurworth but doubt this will continue now.

Hopefully they make them every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 20 on a Sunday because sometimes the single deckers are full before you leave Killingworth…

(17 Sep 2023, 11:02 am)Busu284 How's it a waste when it runs of the 115 then goes back onto the 115. I don't see that a waste

(17 Sep 2023, 11:50 am)Coastliner700 During the day it carries nobody operating the 71 surely it would make more sense to run onto a 62/63

(17 Sep 2023, 1:09 pm)Kuyoyo The 71/72/87 has been retimed to allow the 115 to work on and off them - that decker board does the morning trip then drops onto the xx04 71s from the city until 2pm when it drops off to do the afternoon 115 while the 71/72/87 drops down to a combined 20 minute frequency before dropping back in at Chapel Park about half 4 to boast it back up to every 15 for the PM peak, while also then ending up on 72s rather than 71s (incidentally the 72 board ends up on 71s during the PM 20 minute frequency and the other 71 board ends up on 72s before going back onto 71s).
If you had the 115 work onto the 62/63, you’d see trips dropped from the timetable on a morning peak and an afternoon to allow vehicles to go and work the 115. Notice that the 1, 39/40 and 62/63 are presently the only major Stagecoach routes that don’t have vehicles dropping off to work schools - I wonder why that is ?

(17 Sep 2023, 3:00 pm)Storx Ignoring the Throckley extension problem I'm surprised they haven't binned off the 71/72/87 by now and merged them with the 62/63 so you'd end up with something like

62: Throckley to Killingworth
63: Middle Callerton to Killingworth
64: Westerhope area somehow doing as much of the 71/72 as possible to Four Lane Ends

All 3 BPH

There's no need for 4 BPH at the Killingworth end either but the extra bus running through the core would do wonders.

71/72/87 withdrawn.

If you timed the 11 to run with the 62/63 you could have 9 BPH from West Denton to Newcastle aswell and the 36 to run with the 63 you could have 6 BPH from Fenham rather than the 4 BPH and 3 BPH on top of each other.
