I wonder what change they will be making to the X21, I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to terminating at Bishop Bus Station as apparently they've been losing money since extending it. Although there was talks of extending it West Auckland to better complete with the Arriva 6 as most passenger who go to Tindale carry on to either West or Cockfield

(16 Dec 2019, 9:40 pm)streetdeckfan I'd love to have the X21 split back into the X21 and 18, the replicability has has gone way downhill because of the traffic in Durham

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Stanleyone - 17 Dec 2019

(16 Dec 2019, 9:37 pm)Arcticrossy92 Hopefully the M6 is being split back into 2 routes!
30, 31 (M7) & 32 (M8) from 26th. Op by Consett Low cost unit.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - streetdeckfan - 17 Dec 2019

Apparently on the 13th December 2010 (is that a typo as it says they effective from date is still 26 Jan 2020?) GNE registered 2 new X21 services but there's no start or end point listed


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - L469 YVK - 17 Dec 2019

Well here's my predicitions for the service changes:

- 310 re-routed via Hadrian Park all day

- TVT to serve all stops between Metrocentre and Newcastle

Noticed that a new service 311 has been introduced too alongside the 309 & 310!


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - DH9 - 17 Dec 2019

6 to return to half hourly along its entire route?

Its had major timing problems since last change on 29th July 2019.

There's been issues with timing on a lot of services with the changes that have happened over the past year or so. It seems they've been trying to streamline the services to save money, but at the expense of reliability.
As I mentioned above, since the X21 and 18 were combined, the reliability of what was the 18 route has gone to pot. After say 3pm you may as well ignore the timetable, it very rarely runs on time because of the traffic along the route, there have have been several occasions where they've just turned it around in Bishop because of how late they are, which never happened with the 18 unless there was an incident with the bus.
Obviously I don't have exact figures, but I'd guess a good 75%+ of passengers who travel on that part of the route are just going between Woodhouse Estate and Bishop rather than travelling on to Newcastle, so they have little incentive to travel with GNE, in fact I'd be willing to bet that since they extended the X21, passenger numbers on that part of the route have decreased with people just using the Arriva 6 instead (that's what I'd do if I wasn't already paying for a GNE pass).

Having said that, it's really nice to have direct connection to Newcastle as it was always a pain changing, the X21 would pull away as the 18 was pulling into the bus station, and vice versa!


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - OrangeArrow49 - 17 Dec 2019

Anybody know what changes are being made to services X84/X85?


Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - cbma06 - 17 Dec 2019

So are the x9/x10 buses going on the x84/x85 middle of next year, When those scanias get withdrawn? Or did I read the information wrong?

More like a year for the X9|X10 upgrade.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - L469 YVK - 17 Dec 2019

So is service 311 going to be a regular service or could it be a variation of the 310?

There are timing changes to the 6 to link it to another service, whether this includes going back to every 30 to Stanley too, I don't know, unlikely tho as the 6 doesn't carry many up to Stanley.

I would hope they do something about the sunnisides. No way can you do 20mph through whickham and remain on time, even if you pick nobody up.

Hopefully the new interworking will allow increased running times, although the introduction of more reliable buses would help too.

People actually take notice of the 20 limit in Whickham?

Yes... many of us religiously do. If you have a bump and you're over the limit, you're obviously going to get a bollocking, more so than if you were driving legally.

Be stupid not to!

Well I suppose so, but I've been on plenty of buses through Whickham where the driver has been going 30

What's your point?! That we should or shouldn't be speeding???
