I thought the 5A would be dropped, i would imagine the Docks part is the 77A?. 


22nd May for the GNE changes 
5th June for the Stagecoach changes

I thought they would of wanted them to change on the same day, especially when the GNE service 33 will be going down the docks and the NEXUS contract changes.


Does this mean we will see the 5/5A and the 33 going down to docks until the Stagecoach changes come in to force?

(12 Apr 2016, 4:46 pm)AIG20 I don't think 22079-82 have long left at Sunderland!

(12 Apr 2016, 4:52 pm)Dan I don't think service 12 will be withdrawn completely - it is in a combined registration with services 3 and 13. See below:

PB0002404/20 - BUSWAYS TRAVEL SERVICES LTD T/A STAGECOACH NORTHEAST, ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, NORTH BRIDGE STREET, SUNDERLAND, SR5 1AQ

Variation Accepted: Operating between Town End farm, Hylton Castle and Doxford Park given service number 13/12/3 effective from 05-Jun-2016. To amend Route and Timetable.

This would suggest that Stagecoach are going to aim to co-ordinate a streamlined frequency with these services, on the shared corridors. Services 12/13 from Sainsbury's at Silksworth through to the City Centre, and likewise services 3/13 from the City Centre through to Hylton Castle.

The result of changing the timetable on services 3 and 13 will undoubtedly result in changes to other services, due to the interworking pattern. Services 4 and X1 both have runs which are formed by the vehicles on services 3 and 13, if I recall correctly.

(12 Apr 2016, 7:32 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com How is the 18/19 ternamiting in city center when they go to seaburn?

(12 Apr 2016, 7:39 pm)Michael I think its just how Stagecoach have sent it to VOSA as its a Loop service.

Edit:

I looked back at previous changes and found the last change to the 18/19 on Vosa:

Not sure why the registration has changed for it!

(12 Apr 2016, 8:18 pm)mrnut85 I think one of the main changes that will probably come in will be the reduction of 10 minute frequencies to 12 minute frequencies.

(12 Apr 2016, 8:24 pm)Michael Really?, that's surprising, most of the Sunderland services are busy and warrent a bus every 10 minutes.

I would think the 5/8/18/19 will stay every 30 minutes.

If the changes are the buses going to every 12 minutes, i wonder if this means the 12 will gain gas buses due to some of them becoming available, removing the darts and maybe the MAN buses from Sunderland.

(12 Apr 2016, 8:29 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com So what will the 12 route be running to now?

(12 Apr 2016, 8:32 pm)Michael Not sure, i think Mrnut works for Stagecoach so he'll know more than us but can only say a limited amount of info at the moment.

(12 Apr 2016, 8:53 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com This is just an suggestion but could this happen?
The 12 to extend over from the town to town end farm via the road the old simplicity 36 took when it was every 12 mins?

(13 Apr 2016, 9:04 am)Acky81 The 12 is a popular and fast route from Silksworth to the city centre.
Surely it can't be axed??

(13 Apr 2016, 9:50 am)Andreos1 Maybe the competition has had an effect on it?

(13 Apr 2016, 9:53 am)Acky81 I wouldn't call the 33 or 99 competition they always empty hence the axe of 33a and 99
