(11 Jun 2019, 6:50 pm)Dan wrote Yes, it has been secured by Nexus for years now but the 9 always had people going directly to Sunderland, Boldon etc but when they changed it to the 5, everyone just changed at Jarrow for the 9. I use this quite frequently and overtime i do, the 5 is always cleared of passengers with a good 95% of them heading for the 9 yet people don't stay on past Jarrow from Lukes Lane I've noticed with only one or two people staying on with a good 7/8 transferring for the 9 each time. Disaster for GNE in my opinion as during the day it is a very profitable section by the routes. Evenings i can understand with only ever a handful but daytime services to Sunderland pulled fro North Shields is a disaster. |

Did see numbers drop with the 5 coming in with more people opting for the ferry and 20, It was last years changes which sent it a bit down |

What could the variation on the 309 & 310 be? I know that GNE will want to move the evening times again as Arriva have sneakily moved the 308 to xx:12 & xx:42. Hopefully might see an evening frequency increase if the 310 serving Hadrian Park and the 57 stopping betwen Newcastle and Hadrian Park after 20:30 has improved passenger numbers.

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2
Didnt they do that about 9 year ago,they withdrew the 9 and introduced the 319 then,the residents of Howdon Road made a petition so the 9 was re-introduced,now theyve done the same with the 5,only difference is that this 319 is going to North Shields whilst the past attempt at the 319 only went as far as Percy Main, there was also the 59 that did Wallsend to Jarrow,not sure of its route,that was running before i moved out of Newcastle,then when i moved back 6 months later it was gone
Kind Regards

Reliability perhaps? If GNE were to operate the service as part of a stand-alone service or merge with one of the W services, it could have possibly ensured the service endured. As it is, passengers are now forced to purchase multi-operator tickets and inevitably, their fares will only increase. 'Illegitimis non carborundum'
