Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes

LVK 404L · 15 Mar 2019, 4:31 pm,

Information about the Seasider service is now available online at the Stagecoach website.

Will not let me download timetable though.

Runs from North Shields Ferry Landing to Witley Bay. Departing at 0957 until 1623

£2.50 for a single ticket and £4.00 for a day ticket.

I always find it strange they don't really push services in to the early evening along the fish Quay and ferry landing.
The ferry runs late and there's a few bars and restaurants along there that had the potential to sustain a regular service along with whatever footfall the ferry already has.

I quite agree. It's time there was an evening service to the Fish Quay, which is constantly expanding.
I would also like to add - it would be nice to see the bus service operating every day throughout the year to replace the lost service along the sea front from Tynemouth to Whitley Bay, when GNE withdrew service 1 from that stretch. Perhaps a bit of competition from a bus company which does not operate at the coast might be good for GNE.

Nope, still can't find a timetable - can someone post a link?

And does anyone know if tickets like the Day Rover and the Explorer will be accepted, or is it just the £4 hop on hop off and £2.50 single mentioned on the advertising?

It’s called ‘Seas’ on Traveline but as I tried to get the link for you it wouldn’t work BUT luckily I’m a bit sad and I’ve got the timetable saved so here’s the pdf

The E1,E2 and E6 are also down to be changing on the same date (but not on the list or sheet), wonder if they'll move depot to?

Gas buses on the 30 and X20 on a night?

Is it not also the date of the opening of South Shields Interchange by any chance?

Could be, have we got an official opening date yet?

Should be good when it opens, i know the old shields metro station, will start to get demolished in Autumn 2019.

Went past it on Friday night and it doesnt look far from completion at all,so 23rd June sounds plausable

AIG20 · 12 May 2019, 1:22 pm,

I wonder if there is anything else planned for South Shields depot with several services moving to Sunderland Depot?

Also, is the X34 still being moved to Walkergate Depot? It would be nice to have a mixture of E400s on this route.

Dans_bus_photos · 12 May 2019, 1:31 pm,

If its true about the X20/30 I cant see the benefit to run it from Sunderland depot instead of Shields?

Its on CSV sheet from Vosa

I also wonder what the canceled E6 trips will be?

(12 May 2019, 1:22 pm)AIG20 wrote I wonder if there is anything else planned for South Shields depot with several services moving to Sunderland Depot?

E services were rumoured to be, they're also changing on the 23rdJune.

E services were rumoured to be, they're also changing on the 28th June.

Cancelled E6 journeys will be the morning Shields to Marsden only. Can be replaced with 7/8 if still to exist.
