Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(08 Sep 2015, 5:01 pm)S813 FVK Forgot about the current 13 like but if they were just changing the route of the 31, they'd just have a 'route amendment' registration in rather than a cancellation. It was that which got me thinking that they must be doing more with it than changing the route slightly.

(08 Sep 2015, 5:08 pm)S813 FVK Don't think so. The 07:10 from Newcastle (07:57 from Stanley) and 15:25 from Lanchester get quite busy on that section as those journeys run into St Bede's picking up all the kids who opt not to get on Scholars services 823, 825 or 828. Other than that, doesn't get that busy.

(08 Sep 2015, 4:55 pm)S813 FVK Suppose they aren't too big but very few journeys have fewer than 13 passengers on at any point over the course of the section. Suppose it could manage fine but its the Peak Times which could prove a problem.The peak runs, get decent loads - so I wonder if the quiet day time/busy peaks have altered the thinking?
(08 Sep 2015, 4:56 pm)R852 PRG It seems the Durham-Sacriston and Craghead-Stanley parts of the route are the key corridors in

just that when I was at chester today, pronto was changed with another pronto, and 4934 was swapped with 4932 on the X25 while I was waiting for the arriva X12 to Newcastle, and when I was at Eldon square 4932 left bus station on service 28 with a small piece of paper stuck on the front window with 28 on it. also chester travelshop still has the old toonlink timetables on display and yes I posted the messages in the wrong thread by accident .

(08 Sep 2015, 5:10 pm)Tom So might be worth just having the 130 running Stanley-Lanchester via Burnhope and Quaking Houses and if the V8 won't operate anymore with Solos then that's where the buses could come from, or possibly the 706/707 is that is being withdrawn. It's only a 10 minute walk to the 78 bus stop anyway.
