North Tyneside service changes - March 2020
(20 Feb 2020, 12:01 pm)Tom It’s quite poor, but I think Go North East tickets are going to be accepted on GCT operated 11,19,40,41 and 42/42A.I assume that will only include return tickets issued on the earlier journeys GNE operate and not the likes of day/week/month tickets?

Scrapping the 19 from Ashington to Northumberland Park seems odd - Ashington to Cramlington has always been the busiest section when I've travelled on the route, even more than the southern part! There aren't too many passengers in and around Seaton Delaval, so an extension of the 42 from Cramlington might make more sense (though irritatingly it would just add 2 to the PVR - Cramlington to Ashington is timetabled as taking 33 minutes so it would add 66 minutes to each run, when ideally you'd want under 60).

So the 11 is going to be its former 17 route to Wallsend as for the 40/41, i'd guess the 40 is going to do Wallsend-Hadrian Park via Battle Hill and the 41 Wallsend- Hadrian Park via Howdon and High Howdon like it used to as for the 42/42A Wallsend-North Shields i dont see a replacement at all

(21 Feb 2020, 8:15 pm)Tom If (which is unlikely), the drivers have got it wrong.
What would make sense to me is have the 41 operating
Hadrian Park - Battle Hill - High Farm - Wallsend - Holy Cross then a circular up Churchill Street, via Coniston Road, Ridley Avenue, Tynemouth Road and back to Churchill street (then reverse).
That would maintain the bus service on Coniston Road - which would be lost if the 41 and 42 are no longer going to serve it.
Then the 11 would remain the same.

(22 Feb 2020, 7:19 pm)Storx Stagecoach's 22 extension basically. It's more frequent, less expensive and also goes more places. There's no reason to use the 40/41 if you lived close enough to get the 22. Now that they've lost the night time and evenings it's looking very bleak for them and will be the final nail in the coffin imo hence the 11 going into Holy Cross. It wouldn't surprise me if the 41 is gone altogther or only Wallsend to Hadrian Park in the next couple years.
