(06 Jun 2016, 3:37 pm)Kuyoyo I doubt it - I don't think the 265 could use a larger bus due to the interworking pattern with the 202/204/208.
Also been thinking - the new 10X, anyone got an inkling that they are the current 11A journeys renumbered to fit in with the rest of the Ten routes?

(06 Jun 2016, 3:41 pm)Tom Ah I forgot about it interworking.
Yeah 10X replaces the 11A and the 10A extended to Blackhall Mill to replace the 11 maybe? Then again where will the B9TLs come from so maybe not.

(06 Jun 2016, 2:56 pm)S813 FVK So they have decided to switch the 57 and 58 around by the looks of things (5320-5324 to the 57)?

(06 Jun 2016, 4:20 pm)South Tyne Lad 10A will be the logical option to extend to Blackhall Mill, As it runs to Rockwood Hill which is around that area anyways.
With the changes to the 309/310, If the PVR is reduced in any way, 1 or 2 B9s could be sourced from there, Which is probs the amount of Vehicles required for the extension.
If not, Then the only route with B9s which could be replaced without much hassle is the 47, 4 B7TLs ( 3941-42, 3963-64 ) from Riverside could go to Stanley and fitted with Wifi until next years Vehicle Order atleast.
The 4 Red Kite B9s would have to have a refurb to fit in with the TEN B9s though.
The 3 displaced Long Versa's can be considered as a replacement for a full length vehicle ( Volvo B10BLE for example ) add them to the displaced red allocation from the 11/96 makes a lot of surplus Corporate Single Deckers, And with no Versa allocated routes having a PVR of 3, These Versa's will probably become Corporate along with the lots of Solars displaced from various routes to replace the rest of the B10BLEs.
Unless another Vehicle order happens during the coming months, its going to be a mix match by the look of things.
Feel free to correct me on anything ive put.

(06 Jun 2016, 4:34 pm)Tom Maybe they could extend the 69 to Blackhall Mill? From Winlaton it could go via Barlow then the 11 route to High Spen as it would still provide a link to Blaydon from Blackhall Mill/Chopwell but then again not sure how the loadings would be on the 47 though with there being less buses to Newcastle but the 69 extension would only need 1 more bus. Would be a canny long route though!

What is the current 11 from Blaydon to Blackhall Mill was what is now the 67 - then numbered the 69A. It became the 67 when it was cut to terminate at the Metrocentre, which was when the Blaydon-Prudhoe section of the 11 was attached to the 10s and the 11 was re-routed to Blackhall Mill.
(06 Jun 2016, 4:44 pm)South Tyne Lad Didn't the 69 run to Blackhall Mill years ago? or was it the 67?
I would imagine loadings on the 47 ( which now has Streetlites allocated to a lot of the boards ) to be higher, So I think the 10A would probably be the best option.
Imagine if Percy Mains new 11 went there!

Not sure how people think these are cuts considering nothing has been released in full yet about the likes of then 11 (Blackhall Mill)!
It seems an improved service for North Tyneside to me - new direct bus to Newcastle from the likes of Willington Quay and East Howdon, more buses from Wallsend and Rosehill to Newcastle (if they are keeping the 1 the same) and also all areas will have the same frequency judging my the contracts up for grabs. So not sure why people are complaining?

Durham Rd is closed at the junction of Belle Vue Bank and Beaconsfield Rd from 10pm to 6am this Saturday.
Guessing the 21 will divert along Kells Lane?
(06 Jun 2016, 6:18 pm)Jimmi Because it's Go North East and some think all they do is axe the hell out of services and make crap route brandings
