(29 May 2021, 8:53 pm)Micheal Aaron 42A in my opinion is strange alongside the airport part. Here's what confusing me. Before Covid hit. I saw a few deckers operate at the airport (obviously for flights) it makes me confusing how you have one bus service an hour between Kingston Park and the airport

I don't see why you'd need more than one bus an hour to the airport? People travelling from an airport have set departure times and need to get there in advance, so they'll be able to decide which 42A to get accordingly. Alternatively, they've got the 52/53/54 to Four Lane Ends, then they have access to a more regular service to the airport (changing at South Gosforth)

(29 May 2021, 8:53 pm)Micheal Aaron This is a point I ain't slating GNE at all. The 42A is a strange route in my opinion. Plus why move the times in the morning. It makes my brother late for school now. As he's due in at 8.40 where as the 42A gets to Wide-open for 8.50 or later (if its running late) that's the only problem I have with GNE about the 42A running time

Looking at the timetable, there's a 42A before that one. So whilst the timing could perhaps be a bit better (if its used for school traffic), it's not making him late when there's an alternative.

The 42A goes to Killingworth, the 42A is operated with Solos, the 42A doesn't run for school finishing, the 42A is small, the 42A is one bus an hour, the 42A is blue, the 42A makes your brother late for school, the 42A has 4 wheels, yeah we know!

Everyone knows the Solo-operated 42A goes from Kingston Park to Wallsend, is your only Go North East bus, runs once an hour and is blue with 4 wheels. Lucky for you Arriva is an option, Four Lane Ends has all of the operators and isn't that far. Go North East is practically all I use, which is great fun ON Sundays when the 42A starts after 10am!

I think we're all suffering from 42A overload at the moment, but try and be nice Smile

@Michael - I appreciate that some of us can become a bit passionate about our local services, but sadly it becomes a bit repetitive over time. Unlike some operators, Go North East tend to increase the size of the vehicles in use, when there's sufficient demand for this. Whenever you've mentioned the 42A though, I've checked bustimes and it's usually carrying nothing but fresh air. So the level of service probably matches the level of demand in this case, but you can always raise your concerns to the operator directly: https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/get-in-touch
