If you go on the timetable page and search from after the changes come into effect (I'm inputting May 20th) it brings up the option of viewing detailed or summery timetables (this is on mobile may be different for web browser).

Quick look has given me:

X21 incorporating the Woodhouse section of the 18.

X20 half hourly Durham to Sunderland, suggests terminating at Sunderland Interchange but starts at Burdon Road.

X6/X7 Sunderland to Peterlee Bus Station only, X7 now stopping at Dalton Park.

Wonder where rest of the Prince Bishop Streetlite's will go then, if the X20 if half hourly?

Hopefully Stay at Deptford to replace some of the Scania's.

Maybe the 35...

Looks like the 20 PVR will reduce by 3 when it drops to every 12 minutes, wouldn't be surprised to see them put on the 33

Wonder if the X20 will be changed so its a bit quicker to Durham than it is now... wonder if one will go on the 38 too.

What will the overall PVR of the 20/X20 after changes?

GNE will have spare Solo's too because of the loss of contracts.

Currently away in Edinburgh so can't check traveline etc (find it rubbish online)

I'm telling you all now the prince bishops has to in line for another upgrade to double deckers, if I was a betting man I would put money on it.

Ye i agree, the Streetlites would remove quite a few Scania's from the fleet and all of Deptfords.

Yes quite possibly. Coming round to Malarkey thinking. 20 upgraded to DD, possibly along with new for X21 to make up for increased PVR........


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 21 Apr 2019

On traveline, and it still has the 36 down as running on the 20th May.

Also looks like the 20/X20 PVR will drop by only 1 - 


20 = 16 PVR
X20 = 3 PVR  
X6/X7 - 3 PVR


So wonder if the Streetlites will stay on the X20?, with one going in to cooperate livery?

X6/X7 could get the Solo's with USB's.

Was looking on the journey times for the new 20/x20, the x20 is only 8 minutes faster than the 20 and the x20 stops at every bus stop along its proposed route, might aswell re number the x20 as a 20A

Even though it will only be slightly faster, the 'X' will be designed to take pressure of the 20. Good thinking by GNE. Have had the same arguement numerous times with Arriva as to why they don't have an express variant of the 308.

The 20a did that though and seemed to generate its own custom on the unique sections.

(20 Apr 2019, 9:11 am)Dans_bus_photos Looking at the timetables it looks like the X6/X7 will interwork with the X20 with a PVR of 6. Could this be were the North Tyne indiGo's are destined for?

I reckon there will be handful of vehicles left over by the changes to the 36 and 18 alone.
Regardless of the X6/X7 changes.

It will be interesting to see where these end up.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - S830OFT - 21 Apr 2019

Apparently the X5 will run via Silksworth replacing the 36...

Ye, the Solo's on the 516 will be free.


When are Gateshead Central Taxi's running the 8?, all day or just on a night?


I reckon the Versa's from the 36 could end up Deptford for 33/33A?, i also think we will see the 33/33A provide a full 10 minute service to Silksworth, as the current set up is 12, 22, 42 and 52, i think they'll have a extra 33 slotted in to make up the loss of the 36, i think the PVR would be 4.


New PVR for the 71 will be 2.... so they'll be enough Versa's for the 33. 





(21 Apr 2019, 4:54 pm)S830OFT Apparently the X5 will run via Silksworth replacing the 36...

By traveline, it looks like it will.... could they not just have a extra 33 slotted in, and keep the X5 via Durham Road.....


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - V514DFT - 21 Apr 2019

Im confused,i thought the X5 was becoming the 55

It is.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Malarkey - 21 Apr 2019

Wonder if we will see any new buses arrive prior to these service changes, if so they will probably have to start arriving next week.

Can't see it, they'll probables arrive in June when the Scania's can be withdrawn, hopefully earlier.


Atm i can see Versa's heading back to Deptford for the 33/33A.

One of the many services at Riverside which could get the electric buses later in the year.
