Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2016 - NK53 TKT - 01 Aug 2016

(31 Jul 2016, 5:12 pm)Tom wrote Yeah I saw one on the way back and it only had 2 passengers on so not great but it would help if they actually put timetables up!!

Sadly didn't get to ride it as I wasn't on a outing today but hopefully will tomorrow.
I am in Malta until the 11th?

Make sure you double check the date, if you aren't sure! Tongue

Is 793 out today?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - Tom - 01 Aug 2016

Timetables are up for the Q3 it seems now, or at least they are in Wallsend.

The bus stop on The Avenue needs to be properly reinstated. No road markings and cars blocking it.

Where's this?

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2016 - Rapidsnap - 01 Aug 2016

Its an estate to the West of Wallsend where the 18 used to run. One of the access points is through a low metro bridge.

Good catch vehiclewise, just a shame its the same photo location as always.

Exactly, might try Prudhoe Station as a location, if it's going about on the 10B tomorrow, and somewhere like Folly if it's on the 10A.

I would expect it to be out tomorrow, but due to no vandal screen, will not be out late.

You would've thought they'd have Vandal Screen's going by the southern end of the route it serves at EYMS Tongue

Unless things have improved since the late 80s, they simply don't send buses out late, there! (Fond memories of having to budget for a taxi home if staying out after 9pm)

5386 has been repainted to join the green Quaylinks

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2016 - Michael - 02 Aug 2016

This is a canny diversion!


Go North East

X9 & X10 currently diverted due to an incident at Hastings Hill. These services are currently operating via Shiney Row.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2016 - Jackamcardle - 02 Aug 2016

Apparently 793 is on the 10A today

Typical for me as I don't know the 10A route

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2016 - Michael - 02 Aug 2016

My friend sent me this, seems a Simplicity has gone in to the back of a car at Hastings Hill.

I think it was the 15:05 10A from Newcastle to Blackhall Mill arriving at 16:18 so it will be at Blaydon at 15:35. Not sure what it will do after that unless it hangs around for the 16:54 departure.

Yes that's correct managed to get a photo of it, next ones to get are the B&H OmniDekka's before they are repainted. Might try that tomorrow

793 was on the 10b this morning arriving into Prudhoe at approx 7:35am.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2016 - Jamie M - 02 Aug 2016

I'm out tomorrow, going to see more of South West Gateshead/Durham amongst others. Hopefully can catch at least a sight of the garish bus that's causing the fuss!
