(13 Oct 2020, 3:11 pm)JP6004 To be fair the torch; graphically, looks more appealing and classy. The older crusader livery just looked like a bad dream...so did the black Blaydon Racer after the first 10mins.

Yeah, they could have easily incorporated a torch instead of a flag into the new logo and it would have looked even better IMO. If I get bored enough later on I might have a play in Illustrator

I'm liking the new branding on the timetables, very smart. Hopefully with the next X-Lines timetables they keep the Sunday separate so it's actually readable!

One thing I'm not sure on is the 'turn up and go' on the timetable. 

I'm not so sure it's because 'buses run so frequently throughout the day you can pop to the bus stop and an Angel 21 will be along shortly', but more to hide the fact they're never bloody on time!

Timetables have now been produced for almost every service across Go North East, with timetables effective either 5 September or 31 October 2020.

The final few are due for delivery on Monday, so all will be on the relevant buses by Tuesday evening.

With Nexus having closed all the travel shops, there is no real point in GNE bringing back printed timetables

Particularly glossy ones promoting the service to new customers, only available to passengers on board already using the service.

I never got my timetables from the travel shops, I always just got them from the timetable racks at the bus stations

That only applies to Newcastle though, you couldn't get anything anywhere else when the travel shop was closed

And that's assuming Nexus will still maintain those racks at Eldon Sq and Haymarket

Nexus should be maintaining the racks at Eldon Square and Haymarket.

Go North East's own distribution company keeps Durham up to date. Hopefully this time we won't see all of GNE's leaflets being removed and replaced with Arriva leaflets!

When I was in there a while back, one of the security guards was standing with someone and they were moving all the timetables around, when I went back later that day, every slot was filled with Arriva timetables.
Not sure if they were doing that because there were no GNE ones and wanted to make it look full, or they were the ones that took them out!

OK, it's news to me that there should have been GNE leaflets at Durham, as I don't think I've EVER seen anything but Arriva ones!

If I'm in the area and want to know GNE bus times I've always gone to the vehicles on the route and checked them rather than consider there might be any in the bus station!

Now we’ve come out of lockdown and services have kind of gone back to normal, what’s the latest status on printed timetables?

Are GNE still doing them, and if they are are they being stocked off-bus anywhere or just on the relevant services?

After lots of lobbying from Go North East, paper timetables have now been resurrected at Haymarket and Eldon Square by Nexus. Neither Arriva nor Stagecoach have used any of the space, so it's currently dominated by Go North East:
https://twitter.com/lee_calderr/status/1...8399686657

Go North East are going to lead on introducing timetable racks at other bus stations, including Gateshead and Park Lane potentially later this week. Other operators' printed literature will be accepted, although the racks will remain the property of Go North East.
