Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2018

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2018
In addition to the demise of paper timetables, Northumberland County Council, who, until recently serviced the bus stop timetables, have greatly reduced the number of stops that they are servicing, with the remainder getting notices with website addresses and telephone numbers only, despite many stops being in areas where there is no phone signal - and not everyone has a smartphone.
As an example, Corbridge Parish has between 40 and 50 stops, but only 4 stops in the very centre of Corbridge village are being serviced by NCC henceforth (two for the TEN and two for the 685/X84/X85).
NCC has offered the Parish Councils PDFs of the timetables, but PCs do not have the resources to print suitable timetables for the bus stops nor the staff available to service the stop timetables.
