Departure Stand & Bus Stops in Chester-le-Street 

36 South Shields J 5, 7, 9, 10, 23, 27, 28 

Went for the Chester le Street free shuttle this morning and missed it as I was expecting a bus with a destination display showing free shuttle. After a long wait I realised that a Renault Van from Prestige Taxis of Washington had passed me that turned out to be the shuttle.
Not good for the OAP that had to manage the step in to the van with here shopping trolley also they are not following the timetable with the van sitting in Cone Terrace for longer than required.

Not surprised you missed it looking at that photo, I can barely see that free shuttle sign in the window pretty much hidden behind the tax disc. How are the elderly and disabled meant to get in that?

Should have gotten Scarlet Band or someone like that using a proper bus for this shuttle although that would cost more money to run.
The idea of northbound services not using Durham Road is daft; why can't they follow the southbound diversion route or use Durham Road then cut through to A167. It's an unnecessary inconvenience and waste of money paying for a pretty useless shuttle.
I suppose it's better than connect used to use pretty much a car on the 23
Update on my earlier post about the Chester le Street shuttle there has been an improvement this afternoon they now have a nice bright yellow and black sign in the window of the van that is clearly visible saying free shuttle. They are also now running to the correct timetable but I still think a low floor Solo or similar should have been used.
I agree with Greg in Weardale in saying that not using Durham Road is an unnecessary inconvenience. Having to get off the North bound 21 at Chester Moor and wait for a shuttle seems silly when the 21 could serve the stops on Durham Road then turn right into Ropery Lane using the first bus stop for passengers requiring the south end of the Front Street.
Apologies if this is in the wrong thread, but the past few days when I've spotted the Chester-le-Street shuttle, it's been a dark grey coloured minibus. Looked almost like a Nexus-branded vehicle at first. For reference tomorrow, what is actually being used on it (never caught the reg or noted the actual vehicle type - didn't appear to be the vehicle above by GuyParkRoyal), just so I know what to look out for?

Been busy during the daytime for the majority of this week, so I've not been able to dedicate much time to hunting it down.

I assume its this: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...hp?tid=175&pid=94166#pid94166

That explains everything, thanks Robert!  Smile

Thought it was odd that I'd seen a Nexus-liveried vehicle, etc.

Service 83A runs once a day on a morning, and does go to Chester-le-Street, but the variation date is in May and not March like the other Chester-le-Street ones.

Oh right i thought none of them went there now....

Haha i thought they were all May changes!.

So any idea on what the 82/82A/83A changes then?
Folks, do you know from next Monday, according to the Monday to Friday timetable, there is a 309 leaving B/H Drive at 16:05 arriving into Newcastle at 16:32 and also an X39 leaving the Village at 16:05 and arriving into Newcastle at 16:32. Can one of you confirm that none of these are a result of any docked 309's or 310's as I've had a look at the timetable and it doesn't look like there's been any docked to supply these two journeys. I know that one of them will leave Newcastle at 16:40 as service 309 and one at 16:45 as service 307.

So I take it that the 309 (presumably in case of any bottlenecks at Cobalt Park), will be worked by one of the Red or any spare B9TLs and leave Newcastle at 16:40 with the X39 being worked by a Lolyne, President or Vyking and leaving Newcastle at 16:45 as service 307.
