(02 Sep 2015, 5:24 pm)Dan wrote All in good time! All depends on if citaro5284 and I are both available and if the depot has an electrician who wants to work overtime into ungodly hours. Out of all the services in the Stanley area i only ever use the X30/X31 to Tanfield and the 78. Hopefully not, i think they should be on soon as because of the amount of changes happening to the services in the areas.

Hopefully we'll see some changes to the 17 though to sort out the reliability, and it has been suggested by people that there will be changes next month. |

I also heard that to, i heard they were planning on splitting the route: Whitley Bay to Wallsend Wallsend to Cramlington

Sounds good, i would imagine that would drop the frequency on the full route to hourly (so it drops from half hourly on parts of the route)

The only part of the route that would be left with a 30 minute frequency would be Wallsend-Rosehill which already has the Coaster and North Tyne Links every 15 minutes so there would be much point really. Also would mean areas like Holy Cross, Hadrian Lodge, East Howdon and Willington Quay would be left with a hourly service with no alternative nearby, so wouldn't go down well! |

Nice to hear that there are definitely service changes happening for Stanley. Will bring variety as it has been the same for years and years.

Wish Stagecoach would do that, had the same routes around my area since the 2005 changes in Sunderland! ![]() (02 Sep 2015, 5:42 pm)Tom wrote Can't see that happening, although I have heard about it.

I have no idea for the route so can't say on passenger numbers it would be crap if it went to hourly, after its just gone from every 20 minutes to 30.

How often have they done a customer consultation in the past and not gone through with at least some of the changes (even if the original proposals had to be altered somewhat based on customer feedback)...? ![]() Obviously, some of Gateshead's services in Whickham and Winlaton were also proposed to change... |

Suppose the most recent 'major' change was the introduction of the 44A. I just hope its something decent and look forward to giving them a good read. |

(02 Sep 2015, 5:29 pm)Dan wrote Ya aaarn fault if ya turn up t'work late then (if the bus is your chosen method of transportation!) Who said I was travelling to South Shields? I will definitely be late in to work as I start at 9am at SOL for the match against Spurs, but the first 56 from Concord isnt until 08:54am towards Sunderland, which means I will be around 20-25 Minutes Late in, otherwise I will have get the 4 to Heworth then the Metro to work as the first 2 through mine isnt until 09:42. |

We can always hope... also we can hope when changes are announced that the FAB 57 are getting better buses due to changes, means i don't have to see Les Pigg moan on the GNE wall although that seems unlikely...

(02 Sep 2015, 6:05 pm)Malarkey wrote Who said I was travelling to South Shields? See - you should have read the diversion information..! Knowing you live in Washington, I (correctly) guessed you stood a chance of using services 4, 56 or X1 (ie one of the main services in the area) to go to work. All of these will be affected, especially the 56 and X1, as, until approximately 17:00, buses will run between Gateshead Interchange and Newcastle via Gateshead Interchange and Newcastle via Prince Consort Road, Askew Road, Redheugh Bridge and St. James’ Boulevard to Westmorland Road, Neville Street, Clayton Street West to Westgate Road (Carling Academy). The disruption to services certainly expands beyond South Shields... ![]() (02 Sep 2015, 6:05 pm)Michael wrote We can always hope... also we can hope when changes are announced that the FAB 57 are getting better buses due to changes, means i don't have to see Les Pigg moan on the GNE wall although that seems unlikely... Well the dual-door Volvo B10BLEs currently allocated aren't DDA-compliant so these either have to be modified to become DDA-compliant or alternative vehicles will have to be sourced... |

Not straight away when changes happen though, i would imagine this will be done with new vehicles, which i doubt will start arriving the next month or so but hopefully before 1.1.16! Unless they're getting 2nd hand vehicles, probables be from London.... We also have the OmniDekka's from Brighton heading up soon... ![]()
