Compass Community Transport's YX09 EUD, Bluebird Tucanna, usually works this service, but has been missing from the streets of the North East recently - anyone have any idea where she is?


RE: Compass Community Transport - Dan - 17 Feb 2013

Can anyone tell me which duties Compass run for the 37? I know it's peak times, but from when or until when on a Mon-Fri basis?

Same thing for the 515 - which ones are operated by Classic, which ones are operated by Compass?

(17 Feb 2013, 9:35 pm)Daniel Can anyone tell me which duties Compass run for the 37? I know it's peak times, but from when or until when on a Mon-Fri basis?

Same thing for the 515 - which ones are operated by Classic, which ones are operated by Compass?

Classic start at 07.13 with a 515 to Hebburn, arriving back in to Heworth at 07.44 - this then goes on to a 558 departing at Heworth 07.52 arriving back from Seaburn at 09.02. This then does the 09.07 departure to Hebburn, then operating alternate journeys on both the 515 and 558 - with the final Classic operated 515 journey of the day being the 16.12 from Heworth.

Compass start at 08.13, with a 515 to Hebburn, then operating alternate journeys on both the 515 and 558 - with the final Compass operated 515 of the day departing Heworth at 17.17.

Saturday times do differ slightly, but the first 515 is operated by Classic, with the second operated by Compass - this then alternates during the day along with the 558 - ( sorry, I can't help you with the 37 Sad )

Hope you can make sense of it. Here are the timetables:

Cheers Tom. I understood perfectly.
A shame about the 37, but I've got someone who I can ask should nobody in this community be able to help!

Can you answer this one too?:

RE: Compass Community Transport - tom.robinson206 - 17 Feb 2013

I've answered it on the GCT page. I've tried looking on Traveline for information about the 37, but it just says 'NEXUS' rather than an operator name.


RE: Compass Community Transport - tyresmoke - 17 Feb 2013

CCT operate the peak time diagram on the 37, have a look at the timetable and its easy to tell as it runs hourly during the day, with an extra bus thrown on at peaks to give a half hourly service.


RE: Compass Community Transport - Kuyoyo - 17 Feb 2013

Compass operate the 1601 and 1701 trips on the 37 from Galleries to Doxford Park (return at 1632 and 1732) plus the 1801 from Galleries to East Herrington Board Inn.


RE: Compass Community Transport - Dan - 17 Feb 2013

Thanks to everyone for the help!


RE: Compass Community Transport - tyresmoke - 14 Mar 2013

My instant reaction to the news was that I thought it'd be shared too.

RE: Compass Community Transport - Malarkey - 25 Apr 2013

Anyone got know the timings of the 558/37 and 79 and other services Compass operate. It would be greatly appreciated.

8X

79/79A
515
558

Some services are operated by different companies, on alternating boards. See Post 4 and Post 8 for additional guidance on these services.


RE: Compass Community Transport - Adrian - 25 Apr 2013

Does anyone know how Compass get away with operating what vehicles they want on the Nexus provisioned routes? It seems strange considering Nexus dictate the type of vehicle and livery to the likes of Go North East and Arriva.


RE: Compass Community Transport - Andreos1 - 25 Apr 2013

One of the Solos they use on the 79/79a is shocking on its exterior.
The bodywork is in a terrible condition.

As for the vehicle type and colour - not sure. All of the other operators seems to use a Nexus liveried Solo or standard bodied SPD bar Classic with their random Nimbus on the 168, but it does have a Nexus livery
