That's where the answers are. Politely request if we're going to link this in with the orders (my fault for bringing it in), that we carry it on in the appropriate thread.

We know what the chances of second hand buses coming up from London are!

RE: Go North East - Latest - Davey Bowyer - 11 Feb 2014 I never, ever, ever expected it tonight. 309 left Haymarket on time at 17:04 and by the time it left St Mary's, it was 100% seated downstairs and 75% seated upstairs. Good investment GNE . It took 45 minutes instead of 40 minutes mainly due to the traffic but I can honestly say that a half decent bus makes the difference. One thing I like about GNE is that they make improvements to current services rather than waste money on changes. Putting it into perspective about the 309, GNE have basically said that despite the fact we can't make the 309 any faster or introduce a supplementary full time express, we will make the journey more bearable. Arriva should take note. RE: Go North East - Latest - WestDurhamSwift - 11 Feb 2014 I pray to god the X30/X31 gets those Citaros, Just seen a Yellow bus on the X30/X31 as i was passing it heading to lanchester on a Renown which was packed and plenty of standees, also noticed a yellow Bus on the 15/15a as I was pulling into Lanchester. Also Im yet to see a Omnicity on the X30/X31, or not gotton on one yet, I keep seeing the plain red branding ones on the X70/X71 Is that what service they are going on.

As mentioned by Dan earlier - 5250/3/4/74 are to be used on the X70/X71 while 3885-9 are meant to be the X30/X31 vehicles.

The change is the addition of serving Beamish into the weekday operation. However, anyone notice the mistake on the front cover (Or rather a leftover from the last timetable) RE: Go North East - Latest - Michael - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 7:32 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The change is the addition of serving Beamish into the weekday operation. Ye, haha, typical GNE.... still waiting for the 39 to be added to the Simplicity brand and the timetable to Simplicity colour RE: Go North East - Latest - gtom - 11 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 7:32 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The change is the addition of serving Beamish into the weekday operation.

The current timetable was updated in September but does say 'Monday to Friday journeys run via Beamish Museum Entrance from 25 March 2013 until 1 November 2013, while Saturday and Sunday buses run via Beamish Museum Entrance all year.' likewise the new timetable also states something similar 'Monday to Friday journeys run via Beamish Museum Entrance from 31 March 2014 until 31 October 2014, while Saturday and Sunday buses run via Beamish Museum Entrance all year'.

RE: Go North East - Latest - speedwheels22 - 11 Feb 2014 Why is there a centuron on the 9 I seen one everyday and yep was going towards north shields some of the ppl who got of didn't look very happy about that RE: Go North East - Latest - gtom - 12 Feb 2014 Thanks for the Beamish news. Does seem a bit of a waste; you would think they could just explain that as as addendum to the timetable RE: Go North East - Latest - WestDurhamSwift - 12 Feb 2014 (11 Feb 2014, 10:28 pm)speedwheels22 wrote Why is there a centuron on the 9 I seen one everyday and yep was going towards north shields some of the ppl who got of didn't look very happy about that I seen something on GNE facebook page the other day, some wife mentioning something about the '9' ranted about new buses or something and refered to that service as 'The Centurion' ... So she seemed to be confused by those buses being on there regularly. RE: Go North East - Latest - Michael - 12 Feb 2014 Timetables for the Cobalt Clipper has being uploaded so it has the B9's on them.
