They might not even happen, it could be a mistake on VOSA's side.

Just some things that people probably haven't noticed here by the looks of it:

The 71 is gone, replaced by a service from Hillheads Estate to Grainger Street only by the looks of it (either 71 or 88)
The 1 is scrapped from Cobalt to Coach Lane
The 8 is scrapped.

The 30/31/36 registration is dodgy aswell as it's not showing the 30 in the brackets but that might be a mistake.

Surprised the 1 is scrapped to Cobalt, guess nothing is replacing it as there is probably less demand at Cobalt now. 

Why is the 8 scrapped? 

32 and 35 will be tendered services? 

71 is definitely gone? Just renumbered and curtailed at Hillheads instead of Throckley?

30 probably will stay I think.

I don't understand why the 1 was even extended to the Cobalt I really don't


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - OrangeArrow49 - 11 Feb 2022

When is the 22 getting extended to Whitley Bay?

Honestly I'm not sure on specifics it's just the registrations end / start points. Newcastle Central and Cobalt have been removed from the 1 / 8 and the 72/87/88 registration as it's wrote there is the 3 estates / Newcastle Grainger Street (used to be Throckley / Newcastle)

(11 Feb 2022, 9:45 pm)OrangeArrow49 Why is the 8 scrapped? 

The 8 used to be a secured service (don't know whether it still is). It is a relic of an old circular service which operated prior to deregulation before the 7 was diverted away from Scotswood Road and Newcastle to serve the Metrocentre instead. It most likely existed, initially, to provide a service to factory workers at Vickers and various other factories along Scotswood Road, then to provide a service to Newcastle Business Park in later years. Now that most of the factories are closed, and office workers have adopted more flexible working patterns, the service has been probably deemed surplus to requirements.

To be honest, I'm surprised it's lasted for 36 years. It's had a good run.

I'm not sure exactly since when, but it's been discussed at the depot in recent weeks. Probably not the best idea for timekeeping but a good link which could spell the end of the Coaster 1.

If that happens that seems very odd - especially when they are withdrawing multiple routes.

You've answered your own question. Go to VOSA and put the registration number into the search box and the relevant change will show up.

Any hints on the 22 routing if this extension was to go ahead? I'm presuming cobalt & silverlink will still be served?


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Bazza - 12 Feb 2022

What’s the obsession with extending routes? Surely an extended route just reduces reliability?

The route is unchanged Throckley - Wallsend - Cobalt & Silverlink, so I guess it will either be the 309 route or more likely the 306/308 route. No idea where it will serve between Cobalt/Silverlink and Whitley Bay, but I assume Tynemouth will be served as Stagecoach apparently wants to compete with the Coaster 1 (I know competition is supposed to be over, but this is what I've heard).

Just sharing the information, and I agree entirely (as I said above) it's not a good idea for punctuality and reliability etc, but apparently Stagecoach want to compete with the Coaster 1 even if customers suffer because of it.

The registration effective 27th March has no mention of Whitley Bay though?
