RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Ds1197 - 01 Oct 2017 (01 Oct 2017, 12:12 pm)Michael Hopefully permanent, it could just run likes its bank holiday service, between 10am and 4/5pm. I've wanted a Sunday service on the X34 for years still never happened RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - stagecoachbusdepot - 01 Oct 2017 (01 Oct 2017, 12:42 pm)Ds1197 I've wanted a Sunday service on the X34 for years still never happened Not convinced the market would be there to cover the additional costs on a Sunday - though have wondered about maybe an hourly frequency or something like that (on either service).

I think a Sunday service would work just use 3 37' vehicles instead of double deckers RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 01 Oct 2017 (01 Oct 2017, 12:49 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Not convinced the market would be there to cover the additional costs on a Sunday - though have wondered about maybe an hourly frequency or something like that (on either service). I think it would be hourly, and running only between 10am and 5pm, was hoping they would introduce a service between 1729 and 1924 from Sunderland and 1840 and 2010 from Newcastle at some point, even if hourly. RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - big mac - 01 Oct 2017 I still can't get my head around why Stagecoach haven't done this when you consider how well used the service is. There can be hardly a spare seat left on a double decker sometimes. Surely there is a demand for a Sunday service, even if it was just hourly during the daytime.

Do you know what the changes are to the 23?, as it's my local route. RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Ambassador - 06 Oct 2017 Apologies if mentioned but common sense has prevailed with Stagecoach and the traffic commissioner, the X63 now omits Ballliol and West Farm during the Killingworth Bridge works. That diversion which was adding huge delays is still being observed by Arriva who claim...nexus made us RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 12 Oct 2017 Changes to Services X1, 4, 16, 23 and X24 from Sunday 19 November 2017 https://www.stagecoachbus.com/service-updates/serviceupdatesarticle?SituationId=ID-12/10/2017-11:41:49:610 RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - big mac - 13 Oct 2017 It's a shame the x24 Sunday service isn't permanent.

RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - big mac - 13 Oct 2017 I can see a few people boarding the x24a for Hastings hill and getting a shock when it turns off at the roundabout near the Shell garage. I presume it isn't practical for the timetable to have it serve all the stops on Chester road and still serve doxford?

A massive gap in the service, no swrvice after 3:30pm until after 7 now... Make or breaks the service to me, daft, why not have 1 to Doxford, Then Hastings Hill and the Doxford Park again. Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - big mac - 13 Oct 2017 Yes it is poor that Hastings hill is not served for such a big period of the day. The stop at sevenoaks drive in particular is quite a well used one that will now have no mid afternoon service. I'd suggest that this tinkering could be a bad move as the service is growing and now they have effectively cut it for at least a part of the route. Sent from my 5051X using Tapatalk RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - RBZ 5459 - 13 Oct 2017 It's a very clear and obvious service gap, so if they were well used after 4pm, they wouldn't have been dropped from service. With the main patronage being Sunderland to Newcastle daytime, I wouldn't imagine them stops seeing much use after that time (currently 16:19 departure being the first). Journeys into Sunderland after that time remain unchanged - would be more concerned if they were removed. RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Dan - 13 Oct 2017 Speaking of the X24 - how did we all miss this?! It's been a while since we last heard from Mr. Clifford! https://www.stagecoachbus.com/news/north-east/2017/september/x24-service-welcomes-its-100000th-passenger RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - big mac - 13 Oct 2017 From what I remember, I have boarded the x24 three times at that time of day towards Newcastle, and somebody got on each time at at least one of the stops that will be missed out when the changes come in. Granted, the number of people using the service in that direction at that time is never that high, I think about 6 was the most passengers I can remember. However, I think a sensible compromise would be to have maintained at least one of the three afternoon peaks as the x24 regular route to avoid such a huge gap.

You only ever seem to accidentally find things when you're struggling to find other stuff on the Stagecoach website I've always found (13 Oct 2017, 1:42 pm)big mac From what I remember, I have boarded the x24 three times at that time of day towards Newcastle, and somebody got on each time at at least one of the stops that will be missed out when the changes come in. Well if there's enough wibble I'm sure they'll try and attempt something. They've been pretty good at taking customer feedback on board recently with the regional changes over the past 12 months, which is why I think it would have been (hopefully) thought out.
