RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Michael - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 7:30 pm)Dan 5389 is needed for Nexus work at the moment (service 29), due to the recent RTA near Saltwell Park. They could always have a plain purple one... haha RE: GNE Bus Changes. - nk55 - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 7:30 pm)Dan 5389 is needed for Nexus work at the moment (service 29), due to the recent RTA near Saltwell Park. Deptfords versas aren't the same length are they?, chesters versas wont go on. RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Dan - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 7:31 pm)nk55 If you look at the timetables for the 2s and 8/78 they both operate every 15mins which, yes might seem a bus every 7/8 mins the reality is there's about a 4min gap, the first bus through gets the passengers. That's the typical pick-up or drop-off points regardless of whether you're in front or behind another bus. The stops in between are very rarely used.

Deptford's Versas are in the same batch as the "Lambton Worm" branded ones (midi-sized vehicles opposed to full size 11.7m, like the ones on the Citylink).

RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Michael - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 6:51 pm)nk55 Yes, we have a map in depot. Route training will commence next week, every day for 3 weeks. No idea of times if the 8 will be peak journeys or all day and also if it'll interwork with the 78. Sorry if u think i doubted you.. i had a look back on the VOSA registrations for the last change to the Lime 8 and in fact it only had the 8 on it... here it is PB0002400/417 - GO NORTHERN LTD T/A GO NORTH EAST, 117 QUEEN STREET, GATESHEAD, NE8 2UA Variation Accepted: Operating between Stanley Bus Station and Sunderland Park Lane interchange given service number 8 effective from 26-Jan-2014. To amend Timetable. ---------- New numbers for the M2/M2A/M3/M3A/W5/W6.... new buses on the way? - the M1 changed numbers and got new buses?

RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Dan - 06 Sep 2014 With thanks to Scott (tyresmoke) for collating the information on the upcoming National Express changes. I've put together a document detailing all of these changes, and have uploaded it for use in the news update tomorrow. RE: GNE Bus Changes. - nk55 - 06 Sep 2014 (06 Sep 2014, 7:24 pm)Dan With thanks to Scott (tyresmoke) for collating the information on the upcoming National Express changes. Now only the night shift services between north east & london operate via motorway services. Biggest part of the " perks " were stopping at MSA's. Copying megabus really.

RE: GNE Bus Changes. - S813 FVK - 09 Sep 2014 (09 Sep 2014, 4:00 pm)Michael Does anyone know any of the changes to the 8 route from 2nd November? Think it'd be best if we just wait until Go North East post the changes? I am sure an employee may give details out on this beforehand. Just for detail purposes thats all as employees may not know as much as the management team (although really they should, especially if they work at the depot) RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Michael - 09 Sep 2014 (09 Sep 2014, 4:46 pm)Robert Think it'd be best if we just wait until Go North East post the changes? I am sure an employee may give details out on this beforehand. Not really, he wasn't sure on the route etc, since route learning has started... maybe someone had some info on the changes.. RE: GNE Bus Changes. - nk55 - 09 Sep 2014 (09 Sep 2014, 5:06 pm)Michael Not really, he wasn't sure on the route etc, since route learning has started... maybe someone had some info on the changes.. I know it, along with about 10 other drivers who have now been route learned. RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Michael - 09 Sep 2014 (09 Sep 2014, 10:03 pm)nk55 I know it, along with about 10 other drivers who have now been route learned. Much different, any ideas on frequancy? RE: GNE Bus Changes. - nk55 - 09 Sep 2014 (09 Sep 2014, 10:08 pm)Michael Much different, any ideas on frequancy? Still nothing on the frequency side, possible the 8 & 8A may interwork and the 78 stand alone, but nothing official from management.

Cheers for the info, would be better if the 78 was a stand alone, it may give it more time on the route.. same as the 8/8A.
