RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 22 Feb 2020

(22 Feb 2020, 1:26 pm)AIG20 The upcoming changes in April should allow the remaining darts (34605/11 and 35188/89) to be withdrawn along with most unreliable and knackered MAN E200s.

Scania OmniLinks 24001-3 could also be withdrawn (due to how unreliable they are and as they are not Euro 6) and some ADL E300s cascaded elsewhere if there are frequency changes planned for the 3, 12, 13 and 16?

Hopefully, the darts are horrendous.

Only way to get the 3/12/13 frequency down, was if every service was every 30 minutes (15 combined, currently every 10 minutes combined), but don't think that'll happen, i can see the 4 and 16 dropping to every 12 minutes.


Hopefully we will see the Euro 6 gas buses on the X24 to replace the Omnilinks.



Wonder if the X1 changes are linked with the 4 changing its route?, wonder if the X1 will link with the 18 instead, as i expect more runs will be dropped from the route.


Edit: Talking of the Omnilinks.... only 24001 is out today....


Edit:


New PVR's, if routes go every 12 minutes

4: 7 PVR (was 10)
16: 8 PVR (was 10)
22: 7 PVR (was 8 PVR)


Drop in 6 PVR

Of course could drop by more, if the 20 appears on VOSA.

They seriously need to review the Newcastle network

I don't really know the Newcastle network, so can't give some idea's out on how to improve it, but what would you change?

Do they? There’s nothing wrong with it. They were going to withdraw the 32 between Benwell and Kenton Bar, and the 18 between the Freeman Hospital and Forest Hall, but NEXUS have stepped in to provide funding for them to stay in place.

 And thats good how exactly? So they axed the 15/15A re routed the 32/32A,but no no,that wasnt enough, they then axed the 18 to Forest Hall and Wallsend, replaced it with the 6 and 7 to Forest Hall, a year later decided that wasnt working then the K3 replaced it,that then got axed (yes it was GNE) then Forest Hall lost the link to the Freeman altogether and also lost the link to the Call Centre (yes believe it or not, some people that work there are from Forest Hall) but a couple of months earlier the 1 was extended to the Cobalt, thats just recent examples, the Newcastle network has been a joke for the last 20 years

Tbf it's not just Stagecoach that serves Forest Hall. The whole North Tyneside network is a mess imo. Places like Monkseaton, Backworth, Briardene, Marsden, Preston Village just to name a few would love the links that you have. The West End of Newcastle probably have the best network in the North East though, mostly frequent bus routes which run late in the evening and some of the cheapest fares.

No, likely the rest of the changes will be on VOSA tomorrow or the coming days, this is where we can access the CSV sheet, which sometimes tells you the changes.

Other than that, they won't be on the Stagecoach site for a couple of weeks yet.

Why are the 30 and X20 moving back to south shields

30 and X20 have proven difficult to run from Sunderland. They'll be interworking with the town network.

wonder what the route change is with the 3



RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 25 Feb 2020

Not sure what the route change is to the 3 but hopefully dropping the Gilley Law section to stream line the service so its just Hylton Castle to Farringdon - every 12 minutes.

I m new here but thought I would chip in. The 23 goes via Thornholme Rd. Maybe the 3 will replace 23 on this part of route , meaning the 22 and 4 use Durham Rd and Eden Vale??
