LK03 NJE normally operates the 939 off I think a Gateshead scholars. What are the other two allocated to. Also what are the two buses at Albatross

Cheers. That'll explain why sometimesthey were on the 939

The 701 doesn't start until the 17th September as the 700 is still operating down to Roker.

Ye, The info on the GNE timetable states the 700 summer timetable runs from 25 June to 16 September 2016. still 11 days before it changes.


No new timetable on the GNE site yet, i would imagine, it'll be on soon though, be like last year.... every 15 minutes, not going to Roker, no Sunday service.

Are they doing all the 700 and 701 or is it just 701

Will this be for the 701 contract or a spare for services

(13 Sep 2016, 6:33 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com wrote Will this be for the 701 contract or a spare for services

Unless it has magic powers to grow into a bus with a minimum of 60 seats, it probably won't be heading over to Sunderland for the 701.

I imagine it will see most of its time on the 713 (id say its probably too big for the Cathedral Bus).

The new solo could go on 40 cause dint forget Stanley had a big solo Sr on it a while back

My school bus in south tyneside had 100+ people on at one point and it was a gne viking which has a capacity of around 85

But if they had an accident or police stopped surely the driver would get a fine and points as its dangerous and against the law?

Don't know as it was the only school bus that served a particular area. Kingsleys now provide it and have applied to nexus for a route variation which was accepted.

There was a Stanley trwvel, kingslys and arriva all overloaded with kids. Surely if there is more than a bus load they should put another bus on too.

6020 (LK03 NJX) runs the morning 18A then the 151

Ended up revising the route of the other scholars so the passengers were evenly spread out

6018 is the nominated vehicle on the first day of the Sunderland Connect 701 for Stanley Travel.
