Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(14 Jun 2023, 9:14 pm)col87 I believe if it’s true about the 59 this would be the first time Stagecoach will have had a service in Durham City.
There are also rumours of streetlites from Sheffield depot moving to Hartlepool although it’s probably unlikely.

(18 Jun 2023, 5:48 pm)logidoodah Stagecoach seem to like 'expanding' the area covered by their ticketing, using funded services such as North Tyneside (10/11/317/54) and UTC contracts now with 59 for County Durham. They are not really considering doing anything for growth besides new X24 Sunday Journey's (Which imo should include the X34 and they can inter-work them to reduce costs)
Its unlikely the rumours of the streetlites are true 1) due to the age they are 18 plates so surely they would cascade older vehicles...however if it is true there are 19 Stagecoach Streetlites. Does anyone have the full PVR requirement for Hartlepool Depot? I am unsure with the frequency reductions whether or not it is above or below that...?
Final note this is probably never going to happen because it is SNE and Hartlepool, probably mass cascades like Stockton gained.

I don't know the ins and outs of VOSA applications but re the X24, either someone at Stagecoach mucked up, or someone at Traveline did. That Sunday timetable fits perfectly with the xmas one last year (the duties for that timetable are still up on the board in the office btw). The X24 is NOT getting a Sunday service.
Side note; paper timetables are making a comeback, we recieved a box of them today (or possibly yesterday). I suspect they'll be on buses soon️.

I do enjoy the various little errors in the map, such as Barnes Park being between Queen Alex Road and Essen Way, the Wheatsheaf appearing to have moved to where my Uni flat was on Swan Street, and the Academy of Light has apparently been flattened to make way for Dene Estate. The Southwick label is borderline. For the ones that label the estates, I feel it would've been better to just shade the area, or attatch the tag to the terminus.

I don't think it is necessarily sad, considering the 3 (for example) is made up of the 2 (Town - Farringdon), 3 (Town - Plains Farm - Gilley Law) and 27 (Town - North Hylton Road - Hylton Castle), and was there really a need for three routes between Thorney Close, the Town and Fulwell/Dene Estate? Christ knows what a certain someone hellbent on diverting the 61 just cos would've made of that!
(17 Jun 2023, 4:24 pm)Dans_bus_photos The 11 is going to be a strange one too doubling back on St Lukes Terrace. Wonder if its going to serve the stops on either side of the road

Christ knows what a certain someone hellbent on diverting the 61 just cos would've made of that!I remember in the late 80s , the 23, 24 and 25 going from Thorney Close over to Seaburn area. Throw in the 22 around mid 1990s.
(21 Jun 2023, 9:30 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Worrying when it's been produced by professional cartographers, I'd assumed it was in house when I saw it!
Might partly be because they have opted for thin lines for the routes but it struck me how sparse the coverage looks, but then the South Shields one is same format and looks on first glance as being a lot more comprehensive in terms of network coverage. It's been discussed before but sad to see really what was a network of around 30 services in the Sunderland Busways days reduced to 12 now (excluding the Es which were always Shields' operated till recently).

Also the part of the map thst details sevice pick ups and drop offs in the town. It still mentions Gilley Law in relation to service 3.
