(17 Apr 2016, 8:19 pm)Ambassador I found the app was a bit glitchy when my S6 Edge upgraded to Marshmallow, but clearing the cache and data helped. I gave up on my old login and used a newer gmail one and that seemed to cure my issues too. 

My only annoyance was the lack of screenshot ability. There's ways around it though.

Never had any issues with logins or accounts, but I rarely seem to see any live times? I'm just given the timetabled time instead.

(17 Apr 2016, 7:27 pm)Malarkey Not sure whether it has been noted elsewhere in other threads, but the 82/82A/82B do not serve Washington Retail Park/Sainsburys Car Park on a Sunday, instead they do a loop of the Bus Station and go out past the Leisure Centre to head through Biddick like the 2A does.

Lots of confusion this morning with the split between Portobello Road/Barley Mow.
Quite a hike (or wait) for some.

It's a bit clunky that way. I always get live times but prefer the Arriva app in terms of its interface etc.

Though it does seem to take the Metro approach to 'Due' (it's due...ish)

Yeah the app is useless to me since I can't get past the the login screen. Registering an account also does the same thing. Was like this before and after my s6 os updates, so kinda stuck. Sucks.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - BusLoverMum - 17 Apr 2016

I did download the app. I didn't get past the "wtf, they expect you to register?" stage with it.

(17 Apr 2016, 7:35 pm)Dan Yes, it's at Riverside being repaired. Has been VOR for about a fortnight now.

As Muggins here found out after I went to Bedlington to photo it and the usual (in my case) Volvo B9TL showed up.

Certainly, many 82A services were evading Barley Mow.

I confronted the driver as to why he evaded Barley Mow and got no response from him at all.

Customer Services said they will monitor it because it had happened a few times.

Same, when live times occur the bus then comes later than it says

5223 is now a green Loop.

Any suggestion from Cust Svcs as to why they were missing Barley Mow out?

Pretty shabby it even happened once, without measures being put in to place to stop it happening again later in the day.

Just noticed, GNE gained the Vykings from London around 7 years ago.... mad how quick its gone!


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - JP6004 - 18 Apr 2016

With the withdrawal of the Npower shuttle, will any MPD be withdrawn?

I was thinking that the other day.

Yes, 542.


RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2016 - Michael - 18 Apr 2016

The tab for the Loop has been updated on the GNE site.

Edit: The picture under the Loop tab now shows the Orange version of the Loop.

Well 5224 is green, meaning 5226 is the only one left.

5226 is still unbranded. If you mean 5320/21/22/23/24, they all hopefully be branded soon.
