The services which I think should be Stagecoach Gold should be 1, 10/11 (Newcastle), 12, X20, X34, 63/X63, 38, 39/40 I was gonna say 100 but it's pointless as it only goes to 2 stops

Emailed Stagecoach:

Hello,

Thank you for your email.

Our Commercial department have been advised by Nexus that these works are still under way and the west bound stop which we would use will be unavailable for some weeks. 



We do intend buses to run this way once again however it could be approximately 2 months until this is feasible.

I wouldn't bother - all Stagecoach vehicles that I've been on have been vandalised in some way. I don't see Stagecoach investing into Gold vehicles on any routes up here other than the X34. The X34 seems to have e-leather seating anyway.

I wonder whether services E1/E2/E6 will observe the M&S bus stop again, as it is much quicker to get to The Bridges from that bus stop. I think the road to the Sunderland Empire has been pedestrianised, but I think it would be a good idea to reroute the "E" services to serve St. Michaels Way towards PLI.

All the road system has changed, you can only acess the Empire road by using the road next to Revelution and that road only goes to the bridges car park now.

I think all the services which served St Marys will return to normal once the bus stops open again, these include the 56 etc.

Still bad at this hour?

I know it's awful 3pm - 5pm, but don't often have to use the E2 (always have the option of several other buses) after 6pm.

The release of the latest fleet card means I can now formally confirm, that Dart SLF 33101 has been purchased by the North East Bus Preservation Trust.

The only other move of note is that of 22667, moving from Hartlepool Reserve to Slatyford reserve replacing 22480.

That's the problem with running a service on a 10 minute frequency especially in rush hour traffic, nobody would blink their eye if the service was the old service 2 and a service 3 together, same as the 16 running in pairs but no one would notice if the service was the old 15 and 16, sometimes im on chester road waiting for service 16 to Grindon just after 9am and waiting for the bus for 25 minutes, even I know that the service would be delayed in traffic between Red House and the town and wearmouth bridge, but a lot of passengers don't see it like that and expect the service to run on a 10 minute freq in rush hour traffic, this is what happens on cross city services.
