Yes, ridiculous.

Closure of Lizard Lane on Sundays 6, 13, 20 March 2016, affecting Services E2 and E6

--------

Its a very stupid idea, the 32/A are going to stop interworking with the 35.

I agree that operating down Blackett Street could be more difficult in terms of congestion, but by removing the interworking with the 32/A and 35, it's probably going to do the 35 some favours. It's got quite a bit of layover now, and it also doesn't have to wait if a 32/A has been delayed along its very long route.

Couple of diversions in Sunderland coming up:

Closure of Greenbank Drive, South Hylton - Tuesday 15 March and Wednesday 16 March 2016 - affecting Service 8
10 Mar 2016
The closures are scheduled to be in place during the following times:

Tuesday 15 March - from 12:00 to 16:00

Wednesday 16 March - from 08:00 to 18:00

During the closure periods, buses will divert straight down Hylton Bank, omitting South View, Rosemount and Greenbank Drive, rejoining original route. The diversion will take place in the opposite direction

Customers in the affected area are advised to use the established fixed bus stops at the top and bottom of Hylton Bank.

Clearly, whilst we will be attempting to operate Service 8 in accordance with published timetables, there is nonetheless the potential that some trips may be subject to delay.

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

Summary

10/10a/11/11a: 0756 10 from Lingfield Park will run 10 minutes earlier. The 1654 10 from Middlesbrough will run up to 9 minutes later. 10a will run Sunday daytime only running present route to Marton Manor then via A174 Parkway and Newham Way to Parkway Centre then into Lingfield Park. 11a withdrawn, no changes to the 11.

12: All inbound journeys after 1500 Monday to Friday and 1800 Saturday/Sunday will operate direct from Linthorpe Road to Borough Road omitting the Cleveland Centre to improve reliability. Evenign journeys are also reduced to an hour round trip running time (currently 1 hour 6 minutes).

13: The 1531 from Hemlington Shops will now run at all times (presently School Holidays and Saturdays only).

14: Evening/Sunday journeys introduced leaving Middlesbrough at xx50 with the last departure being 2305. As such, a new later journey from Trimdon Avenue to Middlesbrough is added at 2327 (currently the last journey into Middlesbrough is 2243).

36/37/38: Minor timing changes to the 38 in the Glebe area. Evening journeys on all routes are slightly retimed towards Middlesbrough, which sees the present even 15 minutes frequency only between Stockton and Middlesbrough inbound (38s are retimed to move the large layover at the Glebe throughout the route to Stockton, which leaves a 13/17 gap between 36s and the 38).

39: In order to combat ever increasing traffic levels, some Monday to Friday early morning journeys will operate slightly earlier or later, and afternoon buses after approximately 1430 are also amended.  Most late evening journeys after approximately 2000 will also depart from the bus station 1 minute later (but same times as now throughout the rest of the route, reducing the round trip time to 29 minutes from the current 30).

And now, thanks to Connect Tees Valley, the 12 is reverting back to its original route in Coulby Newham, serving the stops at The Rainbow Centre in both directions (presently only served into Middlesbrough).

Wonder if this is the Durham Road closure.

Closure of Pallion Subway (Southbound) - from 6 April 2016 - affecting Services 11 and 19
30 Mar 2016
The work will commence on 6 April, and last approximately 3 days. This is due to the construction of the new Wear Bridge.



The services will be diverted as follows:



Services 11 and 19 – from the roundabout near Pallion Metro Station, the service will divert straight up European Way, down St Luke’s Road, serving Pallion, then rejoining original route. Service 11 from the terminus towards the City Centre, and Service 18 will not be affected.



Whilst we will endeavour to minimise any disruption, Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience or delays this temporary road closure may cause, which is due to circumstances beyond our control.

I thought the 5A would be dropped, i would imagine the Docks part is the 77A?. 


22nd May for the GNE changes 
5th June for the Stagecoach changes

I thought they would of wanted them to change on the same day, especially when the GNE service 33 will be going down the docks and the NEXUS contract changes.


Does this mean we will see the 5/5A and the 33 going down to docks until the Stagecoach changes come in to force?

Some more info on the 5/5A for the City Centre route:

The route of daytime westbound buses will take in bus stops on John Street and Holmeside.

This would suggest that Stagecoach are going to aim to co-ordinate a streamlined frequency with these services, on the shared corridors. Services 12/13 from Sainsbury's at Silksworth through to the City Centre, and likewise services 3/13 from the City Centre through to Hylton Castle.

The result of changing the timetable on services 3 and 13 will undoubtedly result in changes to other services, due to the interworking pattern. Services 4 and X1 both have runs which are formed by the vehicles on services 3 and 13, if I recall correctly.

Really?, that's surprising, most of the Sunderland services are busy and warrent a bus every 10 minutes.

I would think the 5/8/18/19 will stay every 30 minutes with the 10/11 staying every 15 minutes.

If the changes are the buses going to every 12 minutes, i wonder if this means the 12 will gain gas buses due to some of them becoming available, removing the darts and maybe the MAN buses from Sunderland.

This is just an suggestion but could this happen?
The 12 to extend over from the town to town end farm via the road the old simplicity 36 took when it was every 12 mins?

PVRs if they drop to every 12 minutes: (Think it'll be right) also not incuding the likes of the 8/10/11/18/19 as they arent every 10 minutes.


3: 8 PVR
4: 9 PVR
12: 4 PVR
13: 9 PVR
16: 8 PVR
20: 4 PVR
23: 6 PVR

29/40 gas buses used.

Hopefully the other gas buses will go on my local route the 23

Taking the total gas buses used to 35/40, same as now.



Key: Bold is the current gas bus routes.
