(09 Mar 2017, 8:24 pm)Tom wrote Wonder if they will both be operated by E200s from Walkergate then, it's not as if the 18 will need anything bigger other than peak times.

Also wonder if the 22 frequency will be reduced as noticed it is getting changed - passenger numbers seem to be very low from Cobalt to Wallsend outside of peak times so wouldn't surprise me to see some buses terminating at Wallsend from Throckley outside of peak times.

When changes were proposed SC were looking into splitting the 22 in the evening, meaning frequency between Wallsend and Silverlink could be reduced, which with the current setup would probably mean every 30 minutes. Wibble after the consultations is a little flackey so time will tell how that's panned out.

PVR down by one  on the 18, revised 32/32A would see it go up by 2 or 3. The 1 I'd expect to lose one.

Ah right cheers, wouldn't surprise me.

18 won't be going to Wallsend anymore but from next week you'll have the 42 and 42A anyway

Let's hope with all of this increased traffic congestion, the buses themselves don't cause any additional traffic congestion!

The service 36 change is very unexpected! I can only think that Fenham residents campaigned hard about the loss of the link to the RVI via the withdrawal of service 15. It does mean that the link to central station is now lost. It's pretty obvious that services 36, 71, 72 & 87 will use the stop vacated by the X47 on Blackett Street. Looks like the proposed re-routing of service 63 via Cowgate has been scrapped.

That junction is a nightmare for buses at the best of times ?

I found this very much hidden on the Stagecoach website...

It is, looks like Stagecoach want to try new routes out, maybe they've decided to try it because the X24 has been sucessful?

More Omnilinks to come?

Not this time. Bit too early to divulge so continue wibbling.

Gold route maybe?

(24 Mar 2017, 9:23 pm)Tom wrote Gold route maybe?

When I first heard the rumour, my thoughts went to Gold.
It needs something 'glam', to attract passengers off the X10. However, it would be a big gamble to have anything too new allocated to the route.

The £3.90 (or whatever it is) day ticket would be good enough for a lot of people, I suspect, regardless of 'glam' !

Don't think it applies outside Tyne and Wear as it is £5.05 to Ponteland I think.

Yup, i think that's why the X24 has been successful.

Wouldn't take much to tempt me off the X10 with its current record mind!

Stagecoach through the Durham Rd corridor is a dream. GNE were at the best during the 221/21 bus war

I imagine quite a few punters off the X10 would be interested, regardless of reliability. I reckon a decent handful off each trip start their journey on a Stagecoach service somewhere down the line.

Can't even get a day ticket for Stockton to Hartlepool for £3.90!
