Stagecoach also have posters up on their Sunderland buses regarding delays to services and wanting views - wasn't able to read the poster properly though.

Free buses will be running on Boxing Day, thanks to Workington Transport Heritage Trust.

Road Closure - Durham Road, Sunderland, Sunday 10 January 2016 - affecting services 3, 4 and 23.

I wonder if Stagecoach will buy brand new vehicles for this service or whether it will just be cascades with their roofs cut off. We'll save that for another thread though

Surely just be the Leyland Olympians allocated in previous years?

In terms of DDA though. They will need to get something this year.

Doesn't affect double deckers til next year?

(07 Jan 2016, 5:47 pm)Cock Robin wrote Doesn't affect double deckers til next year?

I know that but they need to get something sorted this year ready for 1st January 2017.

I remember these vehicles running for Sunderland busways. H reg I'm really surprised they still actually work

Due to the end of the funding for 10a/11a from the start of the 2016/2017 Financial Year (10a/11a or 610/611 have been paid for by the developers of the new housing development between Brookfield and Stainton for the last few years - hence they were retained in the Council cuts of 2013). Not sure yet what exactly is happening but the old 10a/11a registration had Middlesbrough-Middlesbrough rather than Middlesbrough-Coulby Newham

That's nice of them to of kept it funded for the last few years, not many companies would do that.

Two changes within a week of each other - interesting.

The 14 change effective date 3rd April (a Sunday) might suggest a Sunday service is going to be introduced to replace part of the 10A/11A.

The 11A is being withdrawn and replaced by a new evening and Sunday Service 14.

10A is varied in route and will omit Marton.

Seems daft omitting Marton. Surprised they haven't put the daytime 10s, 11s via Marton.

The words 'carve up' spring to mind!

The words Newham Way came to mine!

Teesside changes are now on the website.

Summary

10/10a/11/11a: 0756 10 from Lingfield Park will run 10 minutes earlier. The 1654 10 from Middlesbrough will run up to 9 minutes later. 10a will run Sunday daytime only running present route to Marton Manor then via A174 Parkway and Newham Way to Parkway Centre then into Lingfield Park. 11a withdrawn, no changes to the 11.

12: All inbound journeys after 1500 Monday to Friday and 1800 Saturday/Sunday will operate direct from Linthorpe Road to Borough Road omitting the Cleveland Centre to improve reliability. Evenign journeys are also reduced to an hour round trip running time (currently 1 hour 6 minutes).

13: The 1531 from Hemlington Shops will now run at all times (presently School Holidays and Saturdays only).

14: Evening/Sunday journeys introduced leaving Middlesbrough at xx50 with the last departure being 2305. As such, a new later journey from Trimdon Avenue to Middlesbrough is added at 2327 (currently the last journey into Middlesbrough is 2243).

36/37/38: Minor timing changes to the 38 in the Glebe area. Evening journeys on all routes are slightly retimed towards Middlesbrough, which sees the present even 15 minutes frequency only between Stockton and Middlesbrough inbound (38s are retimed to move the large layover at the Glebe throughout the route to Stockton, which leaves a 13/17 gap between 36s and the 38).

39: In order to combat ever increasing traffic levels, some Monday to Friday early morning journeys will operate slightly earlier or later, and afternoon buses after approximately 1430 are also amended.  Most late evening journeys after approximately 2000 will also depart from the bus station 1 minute later (but same times as now throughout the rest of the route, reducing the round trip time to 29 minutes from the current 30).

So Longlands, which from this week has 4 buses an hour each way during the day (as well as the Croft and Abbotts) now has no buses at all on an evening!
