When will that be?[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Prior to the changes taking place..! 

In all seriousness; I'd suggest now that the VOSA registrations are all on the public domain, Go North East's statement regarding these changes is likely to appear shortly.

Wasn't there the idea to run the 31 along Scotswood Road too? Mustn't have been popular.

Well the whole 95/97/97A and X97 changes have blown my idea on their allocations out the window no doubt.....


-----------
Also, i right in a way about lower numbers being used, as i said:

I think having same route numbers will confuse a lot of people although they aren't in the same area's...

Numbers currently not used (Doesn't include letter variations):

3,6,7,12,16,22-26,30,42,48,51,52,55,62,63,65,66,70-73,75-77,79,81,83,87,89,100 but i doubt well see three number services on all of them - maybe the 131/706/707.
All those could be used for new numbers....

You've missed out the 42 again...

*Sticks Finger up* 

It's being added, that's what i get for copy and pasting!!

With more being added, here is my predictions for allocations:

- 6 (Newcastle - Stanley) - Citaro
- 12/12A (Newcastle - Winlaton) - Toonlink Omnicities
- 16/16A (Durham - Castleside) - Citaro
- 30 (Stanley - Lanchester) - Solo Sr
- 95/96 (Newcastle Eldon Square/Market Street - Metrocentre) - B10'/Scania's
- 808 (Castleside - Consett Academy) -
- 816 (Burnopfield - Lintz Estate) -
- V7/V8 (East Stanley/Annfield Plain - Metrocentre) - Venture Solo Sr
- X30/X31 (Stanley - Newcastle) - OmniDekka


5337/5338 to be repainted to be added to the new PVR's of the 6/16/16A...
5250/5253 will head to Toonlink.... to stop interworking....


97/97A/X97 - Scania's - Until something new or newer arrive.............

I think that the 808 allocations will remain the same as they are now. Omnidekka interworking with the X70 etc and a lolyne (standalone). As for the 816 - id go for a trident plaxton president as it looks to be an extension of the 843.

I wasn't sure about 808,816, as it looked like they would be scholar buses... so wasn't sure which services would interwork with each other.


I wonder if some of these changes will allow a couple of "Tridents or Yellow buses" withdrawn?

The 843 currently runs off scholars service 828. As the 816 looks to be just this, i'm going to take a punt on saying that the interworking patters won't change but the number and route will. 

Talking of scholars, can't wait until this 831 comes out...

Ye, wouldn't be surprised if scholars stays the same.

All we are is rowdy, most of which don't really care about their education and will be the ones who end up down the nick quite a bit.

I'm guessing the 97X will just be the 98/98A?

Its alright, i'm getting the metro!

S813 FVK - Wasn't there the idea to run the 31 along Scotswood Road too? Mustn't have been popular.


I'm guessing that it is going to happen, but service 31 is to be re-numbered as 12A.

So the New 12 & 12A will run along Scotswood Road from Newcastle to Blaydon. At Blaydon the route will split as follows: (possibly) !! Service 12 will follow the current 32 route up Blaydon Bank, Croftdale Road, Heddon View, Wylam View and Winlaton.

Service 12A will be an ammeded version of service 31, eg: missing out Metrocentre and Swalwell, instead include Blaydon Bus station, Hazel Road, Shibdon Bank, Parkhead Estate to Winlaton.


I've noticed on those VOSA lits that the TEN group of services are down for route variation and timetable, I can understand tweaking the timetable, but any ideas on route amendments anyone?

Well thats cleared the allocation up going forward...

Could the 47s route amendment be sending it through Swalwell rather than Derwenthaugh? Just putting the thought out there!

Well thats cleared the allocation up going forward...

Interesting how this is only a variation as opposed to a cancellation. Unless the swap of contracts with Stanley Travel isn't happening now, of course.

28/28A changes will be where it only goes to Beamish entrance on a weekend.

Also VOSA isn't working for me again.

A new timetable has been uploaded to www.simplygo.com for service 74, showing Friday/Saturday Evening journeys reinstated.
