Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2013
Does anyone know when GNE will post the changes to Sunderland Services.. By VOSA changes come in force from 2nd June, that's now less than a month away...
Looks like last minute post once again, probley's 2 weeks before changes.
But the last set of changes was - http://www.simplygo.com/news/bus-service...arch-2013/ - These were posted well in advance.

A Waggonway was doing the 34s too, so not sure what has been working the 28s

Purely from observations....A Waggonway is always on the 34 on a Sunday Service. The Waggonway is only hourly on Sundays (no 28A)
I noted it last week but when I've looked back (from drinking in the Market Tavern in Chester) there is ALWAYS a W-Way on the 34's on Sundays

Oh yeah, forgot it was a Sunday Service today... The eldests football training isnt normally on when its a bank holiday - hence the total surprise at the post above about the waggonways working the 34s on a Sunday.
One other quick question though - The Market Tavern? Is it as bad as I remember?
Mind the quiz night I went to there a few years back had some nice free food...

Well after seeing some of the photos from yesterday, we may see a Red Arrow decker working the 88 soon!
As for the demo Versas diagrams, it may be working a different route other than the 44s, it may have been covering a broken down Volvo or just fancied a day out in the sun!
However it might be worth keeping a check over the next few days to see where else it turns up. Whatever the reason, it is a different sort of route to the 44 and it will be good to test the reliability bu pushing it on a steady uphill run west from Chester a few times over the course of the day.
This one would have got to Chester just before 5 heading towards Sunderland.
A vague one for someone to maybe check out.
The 238 is due at Seaton coming from Houghton at approx xx.50.
I was on a19 and a decker went over at the time the 238 was due just earlier on.
Not aware of any scholars due at that time and there werent many on it, but cant confirm 100% what number it was.

By the 9 timetable it looks like service X3 will be branded Northern
Cheers for the updates - looking forward to having a look through
When I was on Traveline the other week for the 27X, I couldn't find any later departures from Newcastle than about 1630 which is quite an early finish, unless the plan is to interwork with some other service at the end of the day.
Rather unhelpfully, my Blackberry can't open PDFs so will have to wait until I get home.
Any knows whats happening to 88? Someone said it may get a Decker soon but, not on current 88 due to bridge on the route.
