These changes could be related to the new ADL E200s due for South Shields. I wonder which part of the route will be changed on services 12/12A and X34?

The X34 changes... i have a feeling what they are but not aloud to say!

He's probably too busy asking questions to check VOSA

EDIT: although he replied to your comment before me though!

Why would new buses warrant service changes? I think i might be missing something.

Westbound closure of Doxford Park Way, affecting Services 5, 5A and 13

During Wednesday 10 June 2015, Sunderland City Council will need to temporarily close part of Doxford Park Way to allow for road resurfacing works.

Last Updated: 29 May 2015 1:05 PM

It is anticipated this westbound road closure, between its two junctions with Hall Farm Road, will be in place during Wednesday 10 June 2015 between approximately 0930 and 1530 only.

During the works period, Services 5, 5A and 13 towards the City Centre will be required to divert via Mill Hill, observing all stops enroute, and will be unable to serve their normal bus stops on Doxford Park Way between the Hall Farm Road roundabouts.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate Services 5, 5A and 13 in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, due to the additional mileage which is required by this diversion there is the potential that bus services in the area may be subject to delays and disruption.

Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these highways works by Sunderland City Council may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding.

Services Affected: 5, 5A, 13

I'm curious, could you not at least give us a hint? I'm assuming it's just to improve reliability, peak times on that route are hellish. The 12 though, I don't get why they would change that one like.

There are "rumours" that, once Stagecoach Oxford receive their ADL E400 MMCs, six of Oxford's Scania E400s could be transferring to South Shields.

I think it should be stagecoach on Teesside that needs more E400 decker then south shields needs them to replaces trident and Olympian

[idiot]

Could the X34 be increasing to every 30 mins?!

[Michael]

Not much of an increase then, it already runs every 30 minutes...

[idiot]

20 minutes then lol

A simple mistake... We all make them, as I'm sure you'll agree.

Some more than others.

[Busman69]

20 minutes then lol

I think that bus has enough reliability problems as it is, unless they greatly increased the PVR

You know me in person Cock?! I know a few cocks lol... lol...

But yes Michael's teasing me is cracking me up. I have only used the service twice but it is a very handy commuting service I most say...

Perhaps a frequency increase at peak times?
