Idiots, all they think about is "taking people out of the city centre etc", can't win.
Anyway, who wants to shop in Sunderland, it's a dump, much rather go to Newcastle or the metrocentre........

There's nothing on the stagecoach website but the above article suggests major diversion for the 36 this evening and tomorrow. The diversionary route would take buses along the Tees Road, through Seaton Carew and up Station Lane to meet the route at Owton Lodge.
This would also leave Greatham without a service unless a shuttle is provided.

RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - markydh - 09 Feb 2017
My god, that is some serious contrition, particularly in Kenton Bar and Montagu Estate. The removal of service 1 from Four Land Ends is puzzling. I've submitted my feedback. I can't see what the re-routing of 63 away from Fenham is trying to achieve and the 'replacement' with 71, 72 and 87 makes getting to the city centre a much longer journey. The 63 (with its 61 and 64 forebears) has run via Fenham Hall Drive for as long as I can remember. I don't think they have thought that one through.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Tom - 09 Feb 2017
They are cutting the Newcastle services more than Sunderland it seems!
18 getting removed from Wallsend doesn't surprise me though, everyone seems to get on the Q3 now. And they should be making changes to the 22 as that service is a joke, should swap the 12 and 22 around so they aren't running in 2s as much (i.e have the 12 going to Cobalt instead of the 22) and have a longer layover.

It seems the rumours were true last year that Newcastle facing cuts would follow after Sunderland!
I've heard that the service which Arriva put into Cobalt late last year is to be removed from Cobalt again in their next set of service changes.
It seems Arriva and Stagecoach both underestimate the volume of traffic in the Cobalt area and their timetables don't allow a great deal of recovery time.

The X6 getting withdrawn does not surprise me at all - never normally more than 5 or 6 people on when I see it!

I think he's referring to the 54 which was re-routed to serve Cobalt.

Ah right - wasn't even aware it served Cobalt.

Interesting, the 12, 22, 30, 31, 36, 38 and X63 aren't mentioned at all. Stagecoach are in partnership with Cobalt with the 22 extension so it doesn't surprise me that it isn't touched. The major cut is with the 15 given they propose completely withdrawing it between the City Centre and North Kenton. Just realised the 32/32A will only operate between City Centre and North Kenton which means the entire North Kenton to City Centre via Fawdon, South Gosforth, Benton, Four Lane Ends, High Heaton, Heaton and Byker sction is withdrawn!
Although the 39 and 40 will now each be every 12 minutes, I suspect the PVR won't change as they've mentioned timetabling changes which I interpret as increased running time. Like I say, one or two of the proposals make no sense. We shall see if any changes are made following feedback
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 09 Feb 2017
Newcastle is one place i didn't expect to get loads of cuts! =0
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - James101 - 09 Feb 2017
Interesting the relatively well-established 18 has given way to the Q3 so quickly. Good score for GNE there.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 09 Feb 2017
Had a proper look through the changes and i don't really know Newcastle so that's why i'm not giving feedback.
Is there any positive proposed changes?
