(12 Aug 2020, 7:23 am)Dan Police advised of an incident/closure on the A19 and buses were diverted from 06:30am this morning. They have just returned to their normal routes.

Thanks Dan, just noticed the report on Facebook

Since it started, the 39/39A both run hourly on a Sunday (30 mins combined on certain sections)

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Absolutely pointless as there’s a 38C operating esdale. Should just be 39s on Sundays

38C is a Nexus service though. If GNE want to take on that part of the route commercially what's the problem with that?

Then it's more the 38C that's the problem then the 39A, since it's a funded service "competing" on that small section with a commercial service.

Total waste of taxpayers money when a commercial service is operating

It has plenty of running time and it's literally a 5 minute part of a 60 minute round trip, would be weird to not run it around there.

The 938 on the other hand is a waste.

As far as I'm aware, the 938 is entirely commercial...

They were suppose to go down just before Covid properly kicked off, they actually made it there too for a few days before having to come back, guess they've went back now things are getting back to normal.

Bustimes has 6311/3 on the 10B 8th August, the only time they've been used since they came off X10s 25th July. Will that be correct?
