RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Dan - 23 Apr 2019
(23 Apr 2019, 2:12 pm)Ianthegoon What's the logic behind the X6 and X7 not picking up in Sunderland centre other than at Park Lane? In the past, I've found it more convenient to hop on these services at Winter Gardens rather than having to make my way across to Park Lane .....Because the services are now interworking with the new daytime X20 service - this gives passengers from Holmeside an express option to Durham.

Are GNE persisting with the 'Wear Xpress' brand for the 55? Despite it not being a practical way to Wearside from Hartlepool and not the express route from either Peterlee (X6/7 faster) or Houghton (X20 faster)?
Also there's currently a new timetable for the 55/A/X (via Silksworth) and X5 (not via Silksworth) online. Presumably the X5 one shouldn't be up there?

Looking closer at the 28a and 28b they have butchered to service for customers in kibblesworth on an evening.... not even hourly.... a gap of 80 minutes on an evening.

Oh, glad to see Angel 21 will no longer set down on Blackett Street, but will additionally stop on St Mary's Place.
This should make it easy for it to access Eldon Square Bus Station as currently its often difficult for it to turn right from Percy St in the mornings. Regularly you can sit there and miss several green light cycles.
It also takes the route around Newcastle's planned bus loop and off Blackett St which is hoped to eventually be closed to all traffic, including buses.
Also interesting that Fab56 will terminate at Market St West, rather than New Bridge West as there often seems to be bus congestion there & limited kerb space.

So after the Forum where will the 11 turn round,will it do what the 40 does before turning into the 41,or will it go to Walkerville roundabout and turn round there

Tried to work out the new PVR's...
1/1A - 16 PVR - Wonder what will be added to the Coaster PVR?
11 – 5 PVR - Omnicities
20 – 16 PVR - Streetlites
X6/X7/X20 – 6 PVR - Solo
X21 – 8 PVR - Wonder where the extra decker will come from, 1 of the spare streetdecks?
71 – 2 PVR - Versa
38/238 – 3 PVR - Scania/Solo - or fully Solo?
Spare streetlites from Prince Bishops to 33/33A

I think it's only 4 for the 11 but 17 for the 20, if my calculations are correct!

I'd imagine the 4 Omnicities from the 11 will go on the 19 maybe?
Also, someone mentioned the red arrow getting new buses and the B9s from there being moved onto the 1/1a, but maybe Omnicities from the 11 will be put on temporarily.

Residents at a Sunderland retirement housing development are urging transport chiefs to think again after plans were unveiled to axe a lifeline bus service.
Go North East is cutting the 36 service from Heworth to Chester-le-Street.
https://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/people/retired-residents-urge-rethink-on-plan-to-cut-bus-service-in-sunderland-1-9723041
36 doesn't go to Heworth though
Doreen says residents would be happy with a less frequent service, if it was a matter of cutting costs.
“It is every 20 minutes at the moment - even once an hour would be better than nothing,” she said.
Its not even every 20 minutes either
Sunderland Echo getting worse at mistakes.

The caption suggests they're in East Rainton, not East Herrington!
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Andreos1 - 23 Apr 2019
Maybe we need to see a return of the FPF!
* 71 missing out a big chunk of Fencehouses.
* Losing the direct link to Shields.
* Reduced frequency to Sunderland and Durham dropping from the current 5 ph to 4. Potentially zero! (it's hard to tell if the 35 and X20 are operating via Dairy Lane/Chilton Moor from the timetables).

Wonder if Green Arrow Scanias will be replaced by Blue Arrow Omnicities, Percy Main losing all Omnicities to Riverside, with Riverside Scanias as short term allocation to 11.

So is the X46 gone?
There seems to be no mention of it on the X21 timetable any more.
Then again, I rarely ever saw another person on it!

No, X46 is continuing although times seem to have changed for some journeys going off Traveline.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - V514DFT - 23 Apr 2019
Im going to assume the 11 is going to terminate where the 40 does

Now if only GNE could have a service between Bishop and Crook and I wouldn't have to choose between going via Durham or paying for an Arriva single ticket! (I'd rather go via Durham if it's not obvious)
