I think there's potential for it being a gold service though my suggestion is get scania E400s in gold spec, Make it run later than the last departure from pilgrim street which I think is around 9pm, maybe last service 11:30 pm to Horsley hill ...... maybe run it into Eldon square instead of pilgrim street but yeah, it would be good if it happened

Oh dear!
(05 Jun 2015, 10:47 pm)Busman69 As much as I would love to see this happen I don't know if the demand is there as it stands, however it's not been done before so it's hard to say...what would the passenger numbers need to be like to make a profit?

After this photo was taken it was taken out of service although with a dent that looks as bad as this, I think it should have been taken out of service before this.

Has anyone noticed when theve been to south shields that MAN 14.240 39704 changes gear really early compared to other examples? does anyone know why?
its been like this for ages now.

(06 Jun 2015, 9:23 pm)South Tyne Lad Im not so sure but im sure the x34 makes a profit, more than half of the bus coming or going from Newcastle pays something then the rest is pensioners
the late evening journeys would make a profit because people are coming from nights out, work and late night shopping, so each service should make a bit of a profit.

(07 Jun 2015, 12:10 am)Busman69 Hmm, you make a good point. But what about the 8:30 journey? As much as that seems like a good service it's not exactly crowded, so unless they used a smaller bus it's a risk nonetheless, then again this service would take customers away from the metroThe whole idea of this service is to Enable those a passengers of south shields and boldon who do not have easy access to a metro station To Enable an easier passage direct to Gateshead and newcastle. I work late evenings and Sundays and would give my right arm to have the x34 operate later at night and Sundays and bank holidays. The way it is at the moment I have to endure a 20 mins walk off the metro through the so called 'nature reserve' to get home. Which isn't always a safe route.
