I'd suggest that it isn't completely linked to the "QuayLink" changes, given that the original registrations (see below) weren't due to commence until 26th July 2015..?

Haven't looked at the current timetable but this new timetable says rail connections from May 17th so I imagine this will be the only change. May be wrong though.

Sedgeletch Road closure.
Stanley did theirs for the 452/968 a few weeks back.
Think Michael put them on at the time.

Anything on the changes to the 20 due to the imminent overnight road closures at Doxford/A19/A690 interchange?
Not sure if the X35 will also be caught up in any diversions, due to the timings of the closure.

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes
How many buses are used on the Quaylink?, and what will the prediction of vehicles will be needed from July when the X40 joins in?.

Just on the leaflet it stated new buses from July, wonder if more streetlites will be coming for the Quaylink/X40, as their are 14 new buses not accounted for yet, maybe East Durham wont get their solos and probably just get the ex Quaylink buses (hope not).

Is it not only buses that use the A19 between Murton and Doxford that are affected X9/X10

There are the works at Seaton on the A19 affecting the X9/X10. The ones I mentioned, are additional ones on the actual roundabout at Doxford Park.
There have been giant mobile LED signs advising of the closure since at least last week, on all approaches to the roundabout.

http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1397
(fourth one down on list).

Worth noting the A183/A19 roundabout is due to be done in a few weeks too, possibly affecting the 2 and 78.

I am guessing if Doxford Int'l/A19 overpass the 20/X35 would be diverted through Philadelphia and Herrington Burn and back on track at the Board Inn...

Also I guess anything heading towards Chester Rd would be diverted towards Durham Rd or Wessington Way

Just a wild guess on my part

The 20 calls into Dox Intl on a night. They're to have to go in and out via Silksworth Lane , before even getting on track at The Board Inn.
Ditto the X35, if that ends up affected.

No idea how much time will be added to each single trip. 10/15mins? Half an hour on a round trip?

Then there are the stops on the Houghton Cut slip roads, the ones at Stoneygate that are rarely used and the ones between at East Herrington, between the two roundabouts - all without a service.
Yet nobody has been advised.

I imagine a diversion would follow the 35 from Newbottle...Phily-Herrington Burn-Board Inn, swing into Doxford Int'l from there

Millburngate Bridge, Durham, Lane closures - 10 May

Date: 06 May 2015

We have just been provided with short notice details of lane closures and works on Millburngate Bridge in Durham this coming Sunday.

Durham County Council will be carrying out investigation works on Milburngate Bridge and we are told to expect bus delays due to these works.

The work will take place on Sunday 10 and Sunday 17 May between 7am and 7pm.

Lane closures will be in place on the bridge between 4am and 9pm on the two days the work will be carried out.

Two lanes will remain open, allowing traffic to flow in both directions during the works.

We apologise for any inconvenience these works will cause, which are outside of our control.

Pretty sure that link you have posted shows an Image of a Versa along with an interpretation of what the Branding will look like, so therefore I dont think any New Buses will be coming for the revised Quaylink/X40, and will use however many Vehicles are required out of Versas 8310-8318 and 8328/29.

Yeah but we all know that it probably won't look like that. Not with X40 on the side anyway and especially not with the Great Park and Quaylink logos both on the side.

Remember, it will have to swing into and out of Dox Intl the long way round via Silksworth Lane though.
It can't get onto the A690 roundabout, for the quick way in/out.

5mins in, 5mins out - plus any additional time going via Philly and Herrington.
There is the potential for canny delays, even at those times of the day.

I often use it around the times affected to/from Durham. Usually after a long trip on the train or at the start of the day when heading for one.
I pity those stuck in the elements at Dox Park.

Yes the leaflet shows a picture of the streetlite, and yes it also says that it might not be like that in the outcome.

But it also states on the left hand side of the leaflet that their will be "new buses" for the service in July.

Interesting to see the 239 at the other end of the clock from Houghton to Avenue Vivian - versus the 4.
As it stands, the 79a is only 15 or so mins behind the 4.

However, the down side to that, is that it runs pretty close to the 4 (due to the 4's layover time), in the opposite direction heading towards Houghton.

Thanks for sharing.

PVR will be 3?

The 38 will probables change to, as the timing for the the 238 is now gonna be **:49 instead of **:40

Shame the 239 won't be going to Sunderland on the Sunday to.

Any idea what GNE will use it?

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes
The changes for the 20 due to the A690 being closed, starting on the 8th - were put online on the 7th.

The powers that be, need to keep an eye on the forum! It had been mentioned on here a while beforehand (several times), had been on the Council website for donkeys and had been displayed for at least a week prior, on the roadside on giant mobile LED displays.

At least they found out in the end.
