RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - November 2016
I wonder if the 4 will be the next to go every 12 minutes? It's happened to a few of the high-frequency 10 minute routes now, like the 27, 56, 58, and now the X1.

Wouldn't surprise me if most or even all of the 10 minute routes went every 12 minutes.


Not sure on the likes of the 20/20A etc though, which both run every 20 minutes, not sure a 12 minute frequency would work.


The 4 PVR would drop from 11 to 9 but i would imagine, 1 extra would be added (like the 56) so the PVR would be 10 and the 11th one would be a branded spare.

Does anyone know how the long 9099 will remain on the X1?

Is it moving to another depot in the NE?

Assuming you mean how long 9099 will remain on the X1...

It's VOR today, but should be transferring to Chester-le-Street on Sunday for a four-week trial on Angel service 21.

Poor branding by Deptford today. Red spare streetlite on 20 whilst branded one is on 9...

What's not to say that the branded one was VOR on the morning run out, which is why either 5438/5439 are covering it on the 20 today, and what if there was a break down on the 9 or it was running quite late, and the branded one was then available at that time to drop into service.

That is exactly what happened.  A Vyking brokedown this morning on Scholars that run onto the 9 so the Branded Streetlite was the only vehicle available.

(03 Nov 2016, 8:28 pm)Pulsar wrote The "Up to Every 10 minutes" is still correct as its 10 minutes on peak times and saturday all day so I dont think this will be changed.

But for most of the day (longer than peak hours) Monday to Friday, buses will be every 12 minutes. I think it would be best to change the frequency on the branding although your point regarding Saturdays is still valid.

The frequency remains at every 7/8 minutes at peak times on weekdays - in my eyes, this would be the best frequency to promote.

It wouldn't be wrong to promote this frequency, if the words "up to" were included.

Nice to see it back at Deptford, i think the brand will turn a few heads.

What will it be allocated to?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Well i hope we have more arriving at Deptford because current allocations, leaves only 6 spares, if you include the 9, no spares:


7 - Red Solar's for the 39
7 - Fast Cats 
2 - X36
6 - Service 9 

Leaves no spares with current allocations.

Is this a temporary transfer or permanent? 

If permanent what is likely to take its place?
