(30 May 2016, 6:25 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Well the x7 certainly isnt a express from Peterlee to boro

(30 May 2016, 6:30 pm)Jimmi These days the 'X' prefix seems to represent a 'limited stop' service in most cases which the X7 certainly is, obviously it's not as fast as the X9/X10 from Peterlee to Middlesbrough but it certainly gets from say Wingate to Middlesbrough a lot faster than the 21A does.

As Jimmi points out, there are sections of the X7 route which are direct with a limited stop (or express if you will) service between points. It was, although with the introduction of the X21 I don't know if it still is, the fastest available service between Sunderland and Peterlee; and after Wingate and Station Town, the service rejoins the A19 to offer a quicker service from that area down to Stockton and Middlesbrough. 

As I stated in my reply to your suggestions, services with the prefix 'X' implied that the service was an express 'once upon a time'. Back in the days of yonder, when more people used bus services than today, variations existed on services operating between Point 'A' and Point 'B'. To provide an example, there were once two regular services which operated between Newcastle and Hartlepool: the 231 - which operated via Chester-le-Street, Houghton and Peterlee; and the X5 which operated via Washington, Houghton and Peterlee. Between Houghton and Peterlee, they both followed similar routes, however one was an express service which mainly stopped at timing points (with a few added stops here and there) while the other stopped at just about every bus stop on route. The stopping service took just shy of two hours from point-to-point while the express service took just shy of 90 minutes.

I understand the meaning of the prefix 'X' has become somewhat diluted over the years and, on some services, it might be argued that the prefix is irrelevant. However, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask about the justification or rationale about why you want to renumber certain services with a prefix which may suggest that the service is quicker than the service offered presently. 

With all this in mind, I'll ask the question once again: Do you intend the X42 or X65 to be express services or not? If not, why not just renumber them 42A and 65 if you strongly believe these services require renumbering?

The X21 is the fastest service between Peterlee Bus Station and Sunderland Park Lane Interchange.

The X7 is still faster than the 202 between Peterlee and Seaham, the 60/238 between Seaham and Sunderland and also the 21/21A between Peterlee and Wingate.

So basically, you could have just stated that you'd like the 38 group of services to be branded and explained you were renumbering the 238 to 38A in order to fit the brand. 

There's no need to overcomplicate things.

(30 May 2016, 2:27 pm)Adrian I've not made a suggestion for ages, but here's a simple one for me:

Decide which route the 82/82A/82B is going to do on a Sunday, and stick with it for the whole day. Whilst I get that they may 'improve reliability' by omitting Sainsbury's car park and the retail park at the Galleries through the day, I can't understand why they'd then go to serve it again towards 7pm? I'd perhaps understand if it were the other way around, but it makes no sense to serve a supermarket and retail park that has closed 3 hours earlier.

Before the suggestion is made that it's to do with Frankie's & Benny's or KFC. The footfall for both is pitiful to what a supermarket or the retail park would attract, and it's very rare that anyone is picked up in the car park on an evening.

Some good points made there mate. I think the 82/82A/82B are a total mess and complicated. I also think all the local Washington services need to be improved and replanned if need be as only parts of the routes get good loadings while the other half carries fresh air half the time. The original routes W1/W2/W3 seemed to work much better and had better loadings, even on evenings and were often very reliable.

Although my recent suggestions have been time fillers and reaction provoking, here is a more general tip.
This isn't to add any new crazy unneeded service that nobody will ever need. It's simply to reorganise how the whole Stanley depot works. I've sat on a solo or an mpd so many times on a peak X70/X71/X31 in the hour of 4-5, that is absolutely packed. I feel having an MPD as a float is ridiculous for a double decker allocation. Even a streetlite would be better than sending a solo/mpd out on the peak Stanley return services along A692, even if it is the wrong allocation. Even the spare omnicity could be used - I feel brand or "correct allocation" is too strongly kept in Stanley, where demand is far more important, and is becomes a detriment when you have 10 people standing the whole journey on 6/X30/X31/X70/X71 because there isn't a decent enough sized bus spare. This is becoming more of a usual issue.

Ultimately the 82/82A/82B/83/M2/M3/whateveritisthisweek have been chopped and changed too much and too often. Without checking, I couldn't tell you which one done which nowadays, or which route they take. 

I do think the route planners do a lot of good work, but chops and changes like this really do not benefit the customer in the slightest.

(27 May 2016, 10:21 pm)BusLoverMum I uess your 22 is replacing the 1 which has run through Wreker-Low Fell like forever (at least since the mid 90s, when it started at Kibby)

It's basically reintroducing the 24. The 1, or Cross Tyne has run through Low Fell in some form since the days of Low Fell Coaches

I've thought for ages to relieve the pressure on the Angel that a Newcastle - Gateshead - Low Fell - Harlow Green Bridge and back might be an idea.

Alternatively, with the new pointless park and ride at Eighton Lodge you could run it to the roundabout and back
Wistfully stuck in the 90s

626 as in the Nexus SR, I think

I think it will depend on the Euro requirements - if Arriva run an MPD on there at present, maybe an MPD will be good enough for Go North East.

Contractual requirements available here. Service 168 is Euro 4 with a maximum vehicle length of 8.5m.

The Nexus Solos are 8.9m, ruling out this allocation, so I think it'll be an MPD allocated.

MPDs are 8.7M, So would breach the contract rules too.
