(15 Nov 2013, 5:25 pm)andreos1 Cheers Tom.
A few areas not having a service and others having quite a frequent one with 2-3 different services...
Hmmm...

Service X40 - Every 20 minutes for a limited time before/after the match.
Service X50 - Every 12 minutes
Assumed depot workings:
Deptford
Gateshead
Chester-le-Street
Service 88 looks like it could interwork with the 35B/C (in which case would be worked by Deptford), but it could also be standalone and be operated by worked by Gateshead.
Service 47 was operated by Chester-le-Street last year, and one would assume it would be worked from Chester-le-Street again this year.

(15 Nov 2013, 5:27 pm)Tom I think it's disgusting that North Tyneside (more so Wallsend area) doesn't have a service!
No service for Fence Houses either

(15 Nov 2013, 5:31 pm)andreos1 Not sure who makes these decisions, but there are some poor ones (again).
A town the size of Wallsend surely deserves a service?
It is certainly more populous than Herrington Burn, that will have 5 services an hour

(15 Nov 2013, 5:38 pm)Tom Yeah! - I'd imagine the Coaster would have been busy? Serves several popular areas of North Tyneside. North Shields-Newcastle would probably be a more suitable option.

(15 Nov 2013, 5:41 pm)andreos1 That's the thing.
Having a 'through' service would work. If people get on in Wallsend, fantastic.
If they don't, there will be passengers from points previous and beyond the point.
Fatfield is well served by three frequent services too!

(15 Nov 2013, 5:46 pm)Tom Yep! - Boxing Day is more or less a similar day to a Sunday. Last week, a 1A was carrying a full load - I'd imagine it would be a similar story on a Boxing Day.

(15 Nov 2013, 6:01 pm)Liam Aren't Go North East usually the only company who provide commercially ran services on Boxing day? Last year at least, all of Stagecoach's services on Boxing day were funded by Nexus, admittedly a few of Go North East's were too. It seems a bit harsh suggesting that Go North East need to provide more services, when in reality neither Arriva or Stagecoach actually run services on a commercial basis on the day.

(15 Nov 2013, 6:16 pm)JP6004 On a different note, with all these new arrivals, the resulting spares is enough to get rid of the Olympians and SPD (providing GNE are willing to replace the DD with singles)

(15 Nov 2013, 6:18 pm)Dan Yes, that's true. All Olympians and SPDs will be gone by January.
I believe Lolynes and Renowns are the agenda for next year's investment plan.
I think folks will find stagecoach provided a lot of routes commercially in Newcastle and Sunderland last Boxing Day, as well as a few in shields too.
Re svc 1: last year it only operated North Shields - Whitley bay. Howdon/ wallsend was only covered by a 17a, also via ferry, I think?
Arriva depots traditionally don't open on Boxing Day.
(15 Nov 2013, 7:10 pm)Dan Which is why, in previous years, Go North East have been approached to operate Arriva's 306 and 308 services.

(15 Nov 2013, 7:24 pm)JakeSavage Yes, I think everyone's had a go on the Boxing Day 306/308. I remember travelling on a stagecoach tub Trident in 1999! I also seem to recall classic ran it back in the day with minis? Don't think the 306/308 ran last year though, did it?
I do find it rather amusing seeing all the branded vehicles many miles from home on Boxing Day! Wonder what'll be furthest away this year?
