(12 Jan 2014, 8:30 pm)Dan wrote All of the City Centre bus stops appear to have been updated, including the ones on St. Mary's Way (which has also had a new bus stop shelter implemented - looks dead fancy) and High Street West in Sunderland.

Seems daft really... None of the buses go there anymore from today!

(14 Jan 2014, 6:05 pm)Dan wrote Nexus don't divulge in such expenses for locations besides Durham Road in Gateshead, he'way...! This is Sunderland we are talking about.

(14 Jan 2014, 6:50 pm)BJ10VUS wrote Most of the digital displays not in Interchanges display "Please use timetable" anyway, so it's not like Sunderland are missing out!

(24 Jan 2014, 8:19 am)Michael wrote Noticed the bus stop at royal hospital stand B (where the 18 runs past) has the X36 and 99A included on the stop where the numbers are.
Least their being updated.

On another note, does anyone know why a Nexus temporary bus stop was in use in Ashington today? Being outside of Tyne & Wear, I'm surprised Nexus used one of their temporary bus stops...

(20 Mar 2014, 7:05 pm)ADLEnviro wrote Totally agree there, I would have also put and don't give a toss on the end though.

I feel sorry for people that read the wrong information that nexus display.............an example below is for the bus stop at Gilley Law turning circle where one stop is used for both directions. Looking at this timetable the 5 and 5A only operate between Gilley Law and Sunderland but the truth is Monday to Saturday day time it operates to Doxford Park. The timetable that is displayed runs to the Docks and what makes this even worse is the section between Sunderland and the Docks that is not shown is the part that Nexus secure.

Gilley Law Bus Stop Timetable

Using the same service for another example. The timetable is a mess for the 5A as nexus think Monday to Saturday it operates Thorney Close, North Moor, Moorside, Doxford Park, Farrringdon then Gilley Law. On a sunday they think it terminates at North Moor and runs empty to Gilly Law for its next trip.

Nexus Service 5/5A timetable

Just a reminder this is the organisation that (think they) can do a better job at running bus services.

The mistakes have been pointed out on at least two occasions that I know of and even though updates have been made twice they have not corrected the information.

Nexus have quite a few members of staff that work in this department, I know a handful personally and they are not run of there feet. Spending reductions???? Is this the massive advertising campaign currently running about fitting wifi to more buses, more buses could have been fitted if spending reductions had been forced upon the advertising campaign. Or is this the soon to be mail out to every household within 400 yards of the 19 key bus routes in Tyne and Wear with all the journey information they will ever need, hope they direct them to the correct information.
