Also when will GNE put on their site they're losing it?, wouldn't it better for them to let people know so they won't get complaints.

(08 May 2016, 2:41 pm)Adrian wrote Not sure why GNE would get complaints? They're only the sub contractor, and have no control over who the service is awarded to.
(08 May 2016, 2:46 pm)Michael wrote I meant like,
Why are you not running the 68?
Couldn't use my GNE pass this morning on the 68, why not?
(08 May 2016, 2:47 pm)Adrian wrote That should be down to Nexus to answer. When tendering services, they should still ensure that they provide value to customers. If it's costing them more, then I'd argue otherwise.
(08 May 2016, 2:53 pm)Michael wrote It should be but they won't but i think GNE should give it a mention on upcoming changes, same as the 93A etc.

Variation Accepted: Operating between Stanley Bus Station and Quorum Business Park given service number 794 effective from 24-Jul-2016. To amend Timetable.
(09 May 2016, 11:52 pm)Ambassador wrote Quorum? Doesn't the 794 end at the DSS?It ends at Quorum in the morning. I know from living next to the DSS Longbenton that it starts there on an evening and continues to Stanley via Tyneview Park, the timetable doesn't acknowledge this though but on the bus it says 794 to Quorum.

(11 May 2016, 4:11 am)Dan wrote I think the old registration had an expiry on it while Go North East were undergoing discussions with Durham County Council about it.That would explain it.
There is no expiry any more, hence the separate registration.
(15 May 2016, 9:38 am)Michael wrote Dan or Citaro, Will the 33 and 39 be allocated Scania's from next weekend due to the changes coming in at Sunderland?
(15 May 2016, 9:45 am)Dan wrote Services 33 and 39 will no longer interwork from next week.
As the DAF SB120 and Volvo B10BLE at Deptford are being withdrawn, I'd suggest that the only suitable vehicle type for service 39 would be Scania L94s.
(15 May 2016, 9:54 am)Michael wrote Cheers, i thought this would be the case but thought i would ask.
In some way I'm glad, the DAF SB120 and Volvo B10BLE are going from Deptford.... should i bet glad about the B10's? haha
(15 May 2016, 9:58 am)Dan wrote I do like the Volvo B10BLEs from an enthusiast perspective; but from a customer perspective, the Scania L94s are more modern, are in better condition (not only internally, but externally too, once they're given a repaint), and most importantly, are more reliable.
It's only a minor upgrade, but this upgrade complements the more modern Optare Versas on "SimpliCity" service 2, given that there's a 7-8 minute frequency headway on the shared corridor of services 2 and 39.
(15 May 2016, 10:06 am)Michael wrote Same but i also like the Scania's, I'm sure the Scania's will last at least 1 or 2 years before GNE finally start to withdraw them, Its a decent upgrade though, shame the 39 couldn't be Versa to.
What will the 33 be allocated?
(15 May 2016, 10:11 am)Dan wrote There'll be plenty of MPDs displaced when the PVR of service 38 is reduced and service 99 is withdrawn!
(15 May 2016, 10:17 am)Michael wrote I really thought they would of allocated something better than MPD's for the 33 especially when they'll be against Stagecoach's Gas buses!
(15 May 2016, 10:21 am)Dan wrote Remember that there will also be Mercedes Citaros on this corridor, with service 36 being revised to operate via Silksworth instead of Sunderland Royal Hospital. With a ten minute frequency headway (between services 33 and 36 combined), there's probably no need for anything greater in terms of capacity. Not forgetting that there's also service 2, every 15 minutes.
