Commercial service changes - May 2020
Commercial service changes - May 2020
(26 May 2020, 12:41 pm)Michael From Monday 1 June, in line with guidance from the government, our buses will start returning to what can be considered our ‘normal’ level of service, with changes to some services that are listed below our COVID-19 travel advice.
We have also worked hard to protect journeys introduced following customer feedback on key worker shift times at the start of the crisis.
Services that aren’t listed below will return to timetables that are similar to their pre-coronavirus times on weekdays, although on many services evening frequencies will be reduced due to the continued closure of leisure and entertainment venues. Services on weekends will also run to special timetables.

SOME interesting changes, wasn't expecting some of them.

(26 May 2020, 1:12 pm)LeeCalder 21 going via Arnison.
Don't get that one. Adding more journey time onto an already lengthy journey time.
A cheaper and quicker service in the X12, and running at the same frequency as well...

(26 May 2020, 1:18 pm)streetdeckfan That's the best change IMO, It was always a right faff trying to get to Arnison centre, now there's the 21 and X20
I wonder if the X66/1A change will be permanent, my guess is they've just added it on because the 1A sits around for a while at Metrocentre anyway so it might as well carry on a little bit extra.
The downside is it cuts off a connection to IKEA and other parts of the Metrocentre, but I guess that's probably not important at the minute.
I'd really like them to bring back the S1, I've lost count of the times the X66 to ASDA/IKEA has been severely late or not turned up at all.

(26 May 2020, 1:25 pm)Andreos1 A faff from anywhere but Durham, Sacriston or Chester.
14 and 50 already served it on a decent enough frequency. The walk from Pity Me isn't too arduous for many getting on/off the 21/X21 as it stands and there's the ANE services too.
The changes haven't really opened up too many new travelling opportunities to the Arnison that weren't there already.

I’m surprised that the hourly 55 that terminates at Peterlee didn’t get extended to station Town replacing service 202, while the other 55 is replacing the 206, I was surprised that GNE pulling out of Hartlepool altogether.

It would seem as though Barley Mow, Vigo, Portobello, Portmeads and Eighton Banks have now lost their direct link to QE Hospital.
These are large communities, sub-standard response by GNE of "you can easily change at Wrekenton".
A change which will hit the pockets of passengers, who will now have to purchase a Day Ticket or multiple single tickets.

Think those are right?
------------
Also looks like the Scania's won't see service again at Deptford... i can't even remember the PVR's before COVID-19 so can't compare some of them, but i would think the drop in the PVR would allow these and a few more of the Omnicities to get withdrawn.
Will the X6/X7/X20 interwork still?, thinking more of the X20 getting delayed at Durham etc, also 3 more Solo's need to be repainted, unless they're split and X20 gets Streetlites in X-Lines livery?

(26 May 2020, 2:00 pm)JP6004 May see X20 upgraded to singles with the extension.....

(26 May 2020, 2:03 pm)Michael Ye, i just edited my post, to include the X20 likely to be upgraded to Streetlites haha - i wonder if this is where the Red Kite streetlites (refurbished?) are supposed to go?, the X-Lines livery would look good on a Streetlite mind.Now think that sounds like a good probability...
Sad to see the Scania's go... glad i got one last ride before lockdown etc.

Are there are refurbished spare single deck buses that could be for the X20?

(26 May 2020, 2:27 pm)cbma06 Dan already mentioned a few months ago that the red kite streetlites are not going on the 35, I was thinking at the time that those streetlites would go on the 55

(26 May 2020, 3:15 pm)Michael Ye, rumours was:Tell me about it, some people dont know how to tie their own shoelaces
Deptford to gain the 8 Streetlites from the Red Kite (confirmed) - personally now, i think these will go on the new X20 service now after a small refurbishment.
6149 - 6154 to Riverside for the Loop
Red Arrow B9's will move to a Newcastle service due to the upgraded Euro 6 engine.
Most/all the Omnidekka's will move to replace the Plaxton President's and the East Lancs Myllennium Vyking's.

GNE did a post about the changes and not one person has read them....... and asking questions which they'll find in the article
