(20 Dec 2021, 2:45 pm)Keeiajs I take it the next set of service changes will be in January, with the X85 being withdrawn from service.

(20 Dec 2021, 2:54 pm)L469 YVK No changes been submitted yet.

(20 Dec 2021, 3:01 pm)Keeiajs I would order 6 E200's for the X84/85 

And I would keep the X84 the way it is. 

And Send X85 via Metrocentre, NCL Business Park, Blaydon, (this may get a lot of hate just a thought) straight upto Consett, A68, Corbridge, Hexham

(20 Dec 2021, 3:12 pm)Dan When did they start planting and harvesting money trees, instead of running buses?

(20 Dec 2021, 5:55 pm)V514DFT What i'd like to know is why is he making a thread for something that already exists?

(20 Dec 2021, 6:04 pm)Keeiajs He has a name, and also afaik there has only been Sept Services Changes, Nov or Oct (can't remember which one) so i thought I would create a new one to discuss all the current ones.

(20 Dec 2021, 6:35 pm)Wybus There isn’t any current ones

(20 Dec 2021, 6:57 pm)Keeiajs There really is some upcoming....

(23 Dec 2021, 12:46 am)DH9 Hopefully it will involve diverting the X72 via the Metrocentre and restoring a link between it and Annfield Plain.   New number 7?

If you have to have an X72, replace the short 6 terminating at Stanley.

None of the X30s and X31s going via Gateshead is just nuts too.

(23 Dec 2021, 12:45 pm)Storx Might aswell just bring back the 43/44 if doing that. There's been umpeen changes and everytime they're getting closer to where it all started anyway. Can't really remember anyone ever complaining about the routes either (excluding delays).

(23 Dec 2021, 12:48 pm)Keeiajs I remember the Gateshead stuff whcih I agree on. 

However I agree, most of the complaints are that a lot Consett services especially the ones Via the Metro into Newcastle are late. 
Thsi was a few weeks ago, but someone I know told me that they were stuck on the X46 from Metrocetnre to Newcastle for 45 mins.

(23 Dec 2021, 3:44 pm)L469 YVK Any unexpected extreme traffic is outside of GNE's control. They can't account for everything although where they know there's certain pinchpoints, they can routinely time for that.

If a major RTC happened on the A1 or A19, the X21/X10 would get caught out even with layover in Newcastle.

X84/X85 - X85 withdrawn and X84 renumbered 684 - times to change to work with other operators
