"From next week we'll also be operating a 'ConnectorShuttle' service to support the 56 service during roadworks and diversions shortly coming into effect."

(23 Jan 2021, 11:34 am)Storx Seems a strange choice of place to run a service from since most passengers travelling there are likely to use the 50 or 56 and you might aswell just travel all the way to the hospital without a change.
Surely a less frequent service to either Fellgate, Brockley Whins or Heworth Metro would be better use for passengers since it's quite difficult to get from the Metro to the Nightinggale Hospital.

Great news for our region and this important health protection effort. It’ll have the UK’s first dedicated vaccination shuttle bus service from tomorrow too (put together with just two working days notice)!
Full details in the morning ahead of the public opening from Tuesday...

(24 Jan 2021, 4:32 pm)Malarkey I'd imagine Go North East would be expecting higher passenger numbers on core services 50/56 so to therefore enable social distancing they've put a Shuttle in place with what appears to be a PVR of 2.
I am surprised they haven't put a service in place from Washington Galleries given it is a central location running direct to the hospital as it would've made more sense.
I do think it would be a good idea for local operators to come together to supply easier access to the hospital from the likes of South Tyneside with Stagecoach running a Shuttle from the area as an example or supply these services to struggling Independent Operators from across the region which have been struggling due to Covid-19.

(26 Jan 2021, 7:11 pm)ifm001 MS is a yellow livered one so possibly 5292 or a rebranded quaylink?
There is also going to be a Sunderland Shuttle to the Centre also.
(26 Jan 2021, 7:16 pm)Michael Oh that's good, Deptford will likely run that, with the other 2 at Washington.
(26 Jan 2021, 10:05 pm)Malarkey Why have Nexus numbered the services CS and MS - Obviously I know these stand for Connector Shuttle and Metro Shuttle but would it have not been better to number then NH1/NH2 for example.

Go North East are running the CS and MS shuttles themselves; this isn’t a public-facing number (other than what is seen on the app), and it denotes “ConnectorShuttle” and “MetroShuttle” as this is what the services are branded as.
Don’t forget that the first shuttle - the ConnectorShuttle - is in effect a roadworks shuttle for Nissan (due to a road closure resulting in the diversion of service 56) but has been repurposed for the hospital given it has now opened as a vaccination centre.
The second offers an integrated transport solution between bus and Metro, something which Go North East are keen to promote and make better use of in the general network, not just on this service. You will see more examples of this in the re-launch of the Connections4 brand.
The N2 service has been put out to tender by Nexus. This is a completely different service.

(27 Jan 2021, 2:52 pm)streetdeckfan What's confusing me is GNE seem to be saying they brought the service together in 2 working days, surely that's not enough time to get a bus fully branded for the route, even if everything was already in place because of the roadworks.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong?

(27 Jan 2021, 2:56 pm)Dan No, it literally was brought together in two days.
