A reminder that changes are due on Sunday for Sunderland, Washington and South Tyneside.
I'm sorry to say this but I can defintely see a new order for the X1 to allow the older B9's to upgrade other services or allow PVR increase or accomodate recently enhanced PVR's.

You've said this on many occasions, and I think you've justified your reasons enough behind thinking this.
Whilst I actually agree with it being a decent idea, I honestly don't think you need to repeat it over and over again. I don't think it'll happen, as much as I would like it to...
Well I know that Dan but it would be a massive help if they did.

Prudhoe diversions, no doubt.
I picked up the new timetables for service 8 and 78. The picture of the bus on the 8 timetable has the number 8 on the side and the 78 timetable has 78 on the side plus the route. To me Thepicture of the bus looks different unless I'm blind lol.

Still gutted i can't use the 8 to the Gall's on a morning from the Grindon Mill... only used it before it was faster... (at around 8am)
However... i might try and catch it on the way back.....
The FPF welcome the new night time links that the 4 will bring, but hope the company will reassess the lack of a late bus, which would accommodate night time revellers coming from the Heworth/Newcastle direction.
The last X1, doesn't connect with the last 79a and means a 10.30 finish to night time activities, if in Newcastle.
Of course, it is possible to use the last X1 and organise a taxi to meet it at the Galleries or get a 21/n21 and jump in a taxi in Chester le Street to complete the journey.
To do that, means you need to be compos mentis - which is a lot to ask during the festive season.

Hopefully it's used, they may even increase it to half hourly.
, would be better if they connected, nothing worse when you have to go early to connect to a different service!

Maybe drop a line to nexus and suggest the 79a meets with the x1.
I have thought about it in the past, but it would mean a total rejig of the 79/79a timetable (79a is an extension of the 79).
Due to the timings/route of the 79a - it comes at something like 2130, 2235 and 2340.
The X1 gets in to Houghton at 2145, 2215, 2245, 2315 and on a Saturday, 2345.
If the 4, which arrives into Houghton just after 11, was to head back out on a run (even as far as Fatfield), it could easily pick up passengers from the 2230 ex Eldon Square X1.
A full run of the 4 at 2308 from Heworth , would offer an alternative to the 56 and the Saturday only 2300 X1 ex Eldon Square. It would arrive in Houghton at 2345 before scooting off NIS.
