Confirms that Teesside's PVR change is -1 - the 12 appears to be a 7 vehicle working judging by the timetable.

EDIT: Also seems the 35 will still interwork with the 52, with certain 52s getting a 10 minute layover in Stockton.

Hartlepool's upcoming evening 7s are on an odd timetable!

Southbound, buses run Middlegate to Owton Manor, as per daytime - simple. 

Northbound, buses terminate in the town centre (York Road), then continue to Clavering as service 6. Upon returning as a 6, buses terminate at Grand Hotel where they then pick up the other half of the 7 they earlier abandoned. 

The outcome is passengers on the 7 which intend to travel north across the town will be booted off at York Road and will have 9 minutes to complete a quarter-mile walk to pick up the second half of the 7.  

Confusion also arrises as the drop-off stands for the 6 are completely separate from the pick-up stands. I can't see this helping sustainability of these evening services. 

I can't help a better way of working would have been the have the 7 stand alone and add the 6 onto the end of the 36. This way everything could match their daytime routes and daytime stops, other than the 36 dropping off at York Rd rather than Park Rd. PVR could be the same too, as the extra 37 mins added the the 36 by returning to Clavering could be covered by 1 extra bus, if the 36/37/38 were to all interwork at Middlesbrough.

BIB: the evening runs on 36/37/38 don't interwork with each other in Middlesbrough on an evening - the 36 and 37 are stand alone using 4 and 1 respectively while the 38 interworks with the 12.

Aye, I meant the interworking pattern would have to change to accommodate hypothetically adding the 6 into the mix.

Though, it could be possible to have a 36/6 pattern using just 5 buses. By eliminating the Park Road/Stockton Street loop and having town-bound 6s terminate via Raby Road (alike Arriva's 23) for the 36 to commence opposite Grand Hotel - a few minutes can be shaved from the current timetables. A return M'Boro-H'pool-Clavering-H'pool-M'Boro could be completed in 145 mins, i.e PVR 5.

That's Stagecoach! Reminds me of when the twilight 7s were split at York Road by operator - Stagecoach took you from Middlegate to Town, Arriva took over for the Town - Manor section. Were tickets inter-available? Of course not.

I honestly can't see the 35 and 52 being standalone on the timetables provided - if the 35 was to be standalone, there's a serious amount of wasted resources with the 35s having 25 minute layovers in Stockton on every trip and the 52s having 10 minute layovers after every trip. So, I can take it as read that the 52/35 will remain as an interworking pattern.

It is interesting to note then, that Stockton retains its PVR yet every other depot has seen reductions.

(10 Aug 2017, 7:30 pm)peter Having looked through the timetables myself I get that the PVR will remain the same...the 10/11 loses 1 bus as does the 12 while the 14/34 gain a bus (though no longer interwork) as do the 35/52/58 (though again no longer interworking) - and if the 35 and 52 are standalone then another bus would be required taking it up to an overall +1. 

Service 52 Departs Stockton
09:08
Service 52 Arrives Stockton
10:28 
Service 35 Departs Stockton 
10:31
Service 35 Arrives Stockton 
11:36
Service 52 Departs Stockton
11:38 

Therefore 09:08 09:38 10:08 10:38 11:08 - 5 buses

Service 52 Departs Stockton 
09:23
Service 52 Arrives Stockton 
10:43
Service 52 Departs Stockton 
10:53

Therefore 09:23 09:53 10:23 - 3 buses 

8 buses required, +4 from service 58 is 12 - current 35/52/58 is 11 (according to one of your previous posts) 

Or Standalone

Service 52 Departs Stockton 
09:08
Service 52 Arrives Stockton 
10:28
Service 52 Departs Stockton
10:38

Therefore 09:08 09:23 09:38 09:53 10:08 10:23 - 6 buses

Service 35 Departs Stockton 
09:01
Service 35 Arrives Stockton 
10:06
Service 35 Departs Stockton 
10:31

Therefore 09:01 09:31 10:01 - 3 buses

9 buses required, +4 from service 58 is 13

I honestly can't see the 35 and 52 being standalone on the timetables provided - if the 35 was to be standalone, there's a serious amount of wasted resources with the 35s having 25 minute layovers in Stockton on every trip and the 52s having 10 minute layovers after every trip. So, I can take it as read that the 52/35 will remain as an interworking pattern.

It is interesting to note then, that Stockton retains its PVR yet every other depot has seen reductions.

I agree, it does seem unrealistic for them to be standalone with such large layovers - especially when the recent trend at other depots has been a PVR decrease it would seem bizarre for a PVR increase simply to allow buses to sit around for up to 25 minutes at a time. Quite surprised that these changes haven't seen any PVR reductions given the number of services seeing frequency reductions and, as you say, the reduction at every other depot. Perhaps these changes may be testing the water with further cuts still to come!

(02 Aug 2017, 10:55 pm)James101 Hartlepool's upcoming evening 7s are on an odd timetable!

Southbound, buses run Middlegate to Owton Manor, as per daytime - simple. 

Northbound, buses terminate in the town centre (York Road), then continue to Clavering as service 6. Upon returning as a 6, buses terminate at Grand Hotel where they then pick up the other half of the 7 they earlier abandoned. 

The outcome is passengers on the 7 which intend to travel north across the town will be booted off at York Road and will have 9 minutes to complete a quarter-mile walk to pick up the second half of the 7.  

Confusion also arrises as the drop-off stands for the 6 are completely separate from the pick-up stands. I can't see this helping sustainability of these evening services. 

I can't help a better way of working would have been the have the 7 stand alone and add the 6 onto the end of the 36. This way everything could match their daytime routes and daytime stops, other than the 36 dropping off at York Rd rather than Park Rd. PVR could be the same too, as the extra 37 mins added the the 36 by returning to Clavering could be covered by 1 extra bus, if the 36/37/38 were to all interwork at Middlesbrough.

That would be a pig for elderly people and those with disabilities. 1/4 mile isn't far for most of us, but my mother in law can't walk that far without getting seriously out of breath (hole in her heart) (My sister in law is another matter - she chooses never to walk as far as 1/4 mile, but she's also convinced that she'd get beaten up if she caught a bus!)

I see the Fri & Sat night service is seeing a cut from 5 buses to 3. What's the betting when the quiet nights service doesn't take off they axe it again and leave the reduced service on a Fri & Sat.

Newcastle changes

In short, PVR on 6, 7, 8 increased by 1, 12 cut by 1. Unlike suggested a couple of weeks ago on this thread, the Sunday expresses do not see timetable decreases.

As posted on Facebook by a Coulby Newham Councillor:

From 13th November, the 10 will be revised to operate via Linthorpe Village instead of Longlands to reinstate the link to the One Life Centre for the residents along the former 11 route in Coulby Newham.

They are further looking to reinstate a version of the 11 in the New Year and also reinstate a link to Stainton in what is likely to be a revamped version of the 13.

Just a guess but would appear they're going to re-route one 13 an hour to Stainton as a 13A, no longer serving Hemlington. I guess that's the best they can do without adding extra resource into it
