(26 Sep 2020, 6:44 pm)Acky81 No changes have taken place yet to my knowledge


Although, not official, I would say that the current frequency times, may end up being the the permeant times for the future...


3 - every 12 minutes on full route (now running both Gilley Law and Farringdon instead of split)
4 - every 12 minutes
8 - same as pre-covid
10/11 - same as pre-covid
12 - every 12 minutes
13 - every 30 minutes
16 - every 12 minutes
18 - Hourly but the timetable, ripped apart (close to be withdrawn)
20 - every 10 minutes
23 - every 12 minutes
E1/E2/E6 - same as pre-covid
X24/X34 - same as pre-covid


Although surprised to see the 13 every 30 minutes still.


Saturday timetables are still really reduced.. with the 23 for example being only every 30 minutes instead of every 12 minutes.

(26 Sep 2020, 10:27 am)idiot That is also true. Was essentially a lot of oaps used it on the evening and Sundays to.

Especially airshow weekend
It connected a lot of people to Asda from the likes of Grindon and Thorney Close etc. It was a well used service for estates where not everyone owns a car but wanted to do some shopping at a larger store. Why Stagecoach couldn’t see that continues to baffle me.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Acky81 - 27 Sep 2020

Why would the 13 be every 30 minutes?


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 27 Sep 2020

That's what the frequency is at the minute.

My post was just a list of the current frequencies and my predication of them staying the same for a while or even permanent, after this pandemic is over.... although, remember those dupe buses Stagecoach promised, haven't seen one at all on the 16 or 23....


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Acky81 - 27 Sep 2020

Service 12 and 13 are currently on a combined 12 minute frequency with 3x 12s and 2x 13s per hour.

Except on a Saturday when for some reason both services run every 20 mins - giving a combined 10 mins frequency.  No idea why 12/13 need increased capacity on Saturdays, when the rest of the operation is scaled back compared to Mon-Fri.

I think it would be much better if they stuck to having a 10 minute frequency between them. Much less confusing to the passengers and it already happens on Saturdays. Strange not to have them for weekdays as well. The 12/ 13 are quite well used as well.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Acky81 - 27 Sep 2020

Strange how there’s more 12s than 13s too considering the 13 is the full time route where as the 12 is only mon-sat daytimes


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - V514DFT - 28 Sep 2020

Strange things happen in Stagecoach land

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/gearing-up-for-a-battle-1585189 - There's an article on it there, seems to be scrapped when the Quaylink came into existance.

There's a network map of Stagecoach in 2005 before it went aswell which has it on, pretty much the Q3 nowadays even known there was a gap of about 10 year where it didn't exist. Bit off topic but it's quite impressive how similar the network is today.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Gonorth91 - 29 Sep 2020

Yeah from the Newcastle Theatre the old 34 follows the now Q3 route


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - V514DFT - 30 Sep 2020

Look how many services they had 15 years ago, do you have anything earlier than that one you posted?
