RE: Go North East - Latest - cbma06 - 18 Oct 2013
(18 Oct 2013, 5:16 pm)Tom #Tynedale Express getting better by the day- Service X84 left with a full load yesterday at around 14:45, Service X85 left with very few seats remaining at around 15:15!
Glad to see it's a popular service! Coming into Newcastle they haven't been as busy, does the 685 run ahead of them or something?
Arriva registered a change on VOSA the other day:
PB0002032/61 - ARRIVA NORTHUMBRIA LTD, 1 ADMIRAL WAY, DOXFORD INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK, SUNDERLAND, SR3 3XP
Variation Accepted: Operating between Newcastle and Hexham given service number 685 effective from 08-Dec-2013. To amend Route and Timetable.
Wonder what Arriva will come up with since GNE started the Tynedale Express.

Nice display for the X39 - very similar to the X84/X85

Is anyone planning a DAF farewell photograph session?
Much maligned by some on here (not me, I love them) they have been in the fleet for a long time and been on pretty much every route going from the X66 to the 21's to the...you get the drift

Looks like poor old Gilsland gets the chop along with a couple of journeys to Carlisle - I hope they do their Christmas shopping early ! No doubt will be back in their come April though

(18 Oct 2013, 12:18 pm)aureolin I'd say GNE looking to re-launch around the 3rd of November at the earliest then? That's me assuming the newly branded timetables and such are already at the printers
Should note too that I received a leaflet through the door for the Connections 4, and I don't even live that close to the route. Credit where credit is due. It's been a good effort by GNE getting the word out on this one.
I still wish there was a "like" button on this page !!!

Lies! I was after the lab coat really.
RE: Go North East - Latest - gtom - 18 Oct 2013
The lab coat is a massive step up from the £1 shop outfits (and thats being generous) that launched the Angel

I can't remember that one, which says a lot given I use the 21 3 or 4 times a day. I did like the key card launch one with the flash mobs though.

Loved that one. The videos of the flash mobs on the buses were hilarious... some of the faces!

Haha yeah. An old bloke shouted at them to turn it off on one video. I think they said at the time that everyone dancing worked for GNE.
RE: Go North East - Latest - Rapidsnap - 18 Oct 2013
Got a link to the video where the old bloke shouts at them?

Its possibly on GNE's YouTube account. I'm on my phone at the moment so it's a faff to search. I'll try in the morning though.
