Not directly through it, no. If they were to walk to Pickering Nook or Crookgate they would.
I still think that, given that there is a large number of people, both residents and workers, that need to use the bus to/from Hobson, it was a mistake withdrawing the service (ie 44/44A). I suppose the argument of GNEs data could be brought into this one though.

I've done the old 44/44a on numerous occasions prior to the changes and the numbers travelling to/from the hobson were very few, 95% of journeys you'd not stop. The current 6 during peak hours only carries a handful if that.

GNE are excellent at communicating and equally good when they don't want to
These service changes aren't about making cuts at all - they genuinely are about improving the reliability of services.
This is not me "absolutely bumming" Go North East, but giving the facts. The PVR of the 5/50 services will increase by one vehicle when the services interwork from next month, as there will be increased running and layover times.
The PVR of the Angel 21 won't be reduced with journeys terminating short at Chester-le-Street Red Lion as opposed to Black Horse. These trips are regularly regulated anyway, which Go North East's various systems would have proven (real time information, lost mileage records, etc). This just allows extended layover periods, in a bid to make the service more reliable.

I think you're right, Tom.
Services 82 and 82B will each be hourly, providing a combined 30-minute frequency, as present.

That makes sense I suppose, it will at lease stop the coffin dodgers from moaning.
I hope it isn't like this through the week though, that is a recipe for disaster.....

It does say Sundays, no mention of Monday to Saturday in the article.

How is it vague?
It does not say any other day other than Sunday which means only the Sunday timetable is changing.

I know this doesn't involve the 82s -
But what's changing to the 88/88A? Extra running time?

Just to double check, the InDiGo solos are entering service tomorrow, just so I catch the 80 and compare it to the 74 that I am getting on tonight with my Grandma who lives on the route in Darras Hall

Could it be anything to do with the 93A tender that GCT has just won...is that not from May 2016?

It operates once a day between Friars Goose and Heworth - using the same minibus that works the daytime 68 service. Go North East presently operate this service, but the tender for the new contract has been awarded to Gateshead Central Taxis (as noted
here). The new contract commences 22nd May 2016.
