(03/11/2017, 19:46)Michael Wrote: Can we use Go North East passes on the 40/40A/40B?

No, unfortunately not. That's why there's nothing on Go North East's website about this service.

Would you happen to know what ticket types ARE accepted on these services, then?  Would the Explorer, for example, be valid, or is there some kind of specific-to-Durham ticket that would be needed?  Or possibly just pay for the single journeys made?

Cathedral Bus day tickets cost £1 (adult) and 50p (child). Aside from this; Concessionary Passes, Durham Park & Ride tickets, and Explorer tickets are all valid for travel. No other tickets are valid.

This should reflect the previous ticket acceptance when this contract was operated by Stanley Travel.

(06 Nov 2017, 10:37 am)EJamie M Why would chester be using younger solars on the 28A if they've just sent 2 of them to another depot?
I think a corp brand could have worked but no point.

Wouldn't put it past streetlites. Wouldn't put it past the salty park streetlites being cascaded off as they've stayed as long as the versas beforehand.

Haven't we previously noted that Go North East aren't expecting any new single decks this year?
So nothing to replace current buses on Saltwell Park or Citylink.

It probably makes extremely little profit but it’d be nice if the 28s got something a bit more reliable for those buzzfare spending punters . First it was DAFs then it was Solars...a horse and cart seems the next logical step

Maybe it could get Omnicities cascaded off the Coaster in the future should the B5LH's migrate to the Coaster or alternatively GNE could drop the brand altogether.

Should allow 4929, 30, 35 to be withdrawn after Deptford without returning to Riverside.

Aye, haven't long seen one.


'Silksworth' dominating the display. Didnt see any via points at all.
Which for the likes of the 2 (which goes via the world and back again) could be confusing for some passengers.
