Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - October 2013
(22 Oct 2013, 6:29 am)Michael Facebook message about the proposed North Sunderland changes...
Hi everyone! I don't who is aware, but Go North East are proposing to withdraw the 36/36A service. They are justifying this by proposing to increase the 26 to a 20 min service. Fine if you don't need to go over the Alexandra Bridge for work, hospital, shopping or leisure. The consultation forms haven't been available on the 36/36A even though I have asked several drivers. In the end, I e-mailed a request for a number of the forms be sent to my home address so I could distribute them among the 36/36A passengers. They sent me 12!!! So if you care about our bus services, if not for yourself, then maybe for a relative or neighbour who relies on them, contact them on Facebook or www.simplygo.com. We only have till 30 Oct to have our views heard. Please fight to keep our bus links.
I have to agree iv'e used the 26/36/36A last few days i haven't seen any on their.
Update: Guess who's liked it? - Yes of course its.... Ian Hignett likes this.

'25% off any 7 or 28 day buzzfare bought on simplygo.com before 13th November'
So a 2 zone 28 day for 61.12 isn't bad at all

Curious to see the PR spin to see how many forms have been distributed and returned after the shambles that was the Coaster consultation.
Haven't been home much over the last week, but yet to get my Connecections 4 timetable that was promised to houses on route.
250yds from a bus stop obviously doesn't class as on route.
Will give them a few days to get it sorted, so will keep an open mind until then.
