(17 Feb 2023, 4:59 pm)ifm001 Not official services no. But the old X32 did occasionally come down what was known locally as co -op bank in Kibblesworth.
The short cut route from Sunniside goes direct to Lamesley past the garden centre and actually omits Kibblesworth. A bus could access that route, but if you wanted to turn and access Kibblesworth it's a single track and I don't like taking my car along there let alone anyone taking a bus. Brings you out at the farm at Kibblesworth. Probably meet a tractor head on.

(17 Feb 2023, 6:27 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Dunno about single track but certainly some fun looking routes in the Lakes especially the 77/78 - some of the roads they negotiate must be a bit of a challenge at times!

Does anyone have a copy of the GNE 91 timetable, around the time it ran during the off peak as well.
(10 Apr 2023, 10:44 am)Unber43 Anyone have the old Diamond timetable (44/43/44A) etc

Pre metro was there anything that regularly served the airport, that started in Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland, County Durham, etc... and avoided newcastle city centre.
This might be a long shot, does anyone know the fonts used on the attached GNE timetable. I want to replicate this design but with various different colours and my own services.

Hi all,
I’m looking for timetables (if not available then frequency and route description) for the following routes:
GNE (Pink Panther) D4 Durham - Arnison Centre. I have a route map of it, but no timetable.
Kimberley Coaches/Tyne Blue Line X63 Hexham to Metrocentre (I believe). I have the 603 timetable.
St George’s Travel - C1/C2 Washington circulars?
Redby - 535 when it competed with 35?
Redby/Wearside Bus Compang. 394 when did this run to Newcastle? The TWPTE timetables just have it Heworth - Washington, but photos also show it in Newcastle.
Queries:
Aside for the 394 (except Redby routes) did the Wearside Bus Company run any other services?
Does anyone have a list of the routes ran by Calvary Coaches as well? I’ve got timetables for 294, 297, and Waterside in the TWPTE guides.
Thanks in advance.

(11 Mar 2024, 7:54 pm)Andreos1 The only one I can answer with any certainty.
For a period in the early 90s, they ran an hourly service which competed with the 194.
If I remember right, it was numbered the 13. It was scheduled to pick up outside Biddick and St Roberts dead on kicking out time.
Wear Buses as it was at the time, whacked an Optare Metrorider in front of it as a spoiler 194.
I'm sure the shortlived Barnwell to Newcastle 191 was the legacy.
Thanks Andreos,
Just two of follow up questions for clarity:

(12 Mar 2024, 7:22 am)GDK1425 Thanks Andreos,
Just two of follow up questions for clarity:
- Did the 13 follow the 194 route exactly I.e. Heworth - Concord - Washington - Fatfield - Newbottle - HLS - Easington Lane?
- Did it only run Monday to Saturday? (From your recollection?)

(12 Mar 2024, 8:48 am)Andreos1 It didn't run the full route.
Can't remember if it finished at Penshaw or Houghton. But didn't go all the way to Easington Lane.
Often ran with a dual-door mk1 National though!
