(20 Jul 2020, 10:36 pm)6049 In their defence, it can be very difficult to get the 23 back to the Galleries on time. I often found that the late running was nearly always caught up on the short Lansbury Drive runs.

That being said, leaving 5mins early from a compulsory timing point is Traffic Commissioner territory.

It did make the time up by the time it got to Wrekenton from The Galleries and looked empty.

(21 Jul 2020, 2:29 pm)park5354 81/82/83/84/85/86 are allocated solos, run off 37/73 & 558, with the odd streetlite thrown on.  Breadvans  are NOT a recurring theme.

Sunday allocation is Enviro only.

It appears to be mainly Enviro 200 MMC's to me, certainly noticed a lot of Breadvans on these services, I even photographed one the other day on the 84 (then 82), and another running around showing NIS!

Along with a quite full, and non-socially distanced 20-plate breadvan operating the 85 on a few occasions.

It will be interesting to see how passenger numbers on the 23 are effected by the change of operator, now that a 'proper' bus isn't being used as such?

It's a bit GNE 35a missing out part of the section regularly. A friend of mine give up reporting it.

(20 Jul 2020, 12:57 pm)TEN 6083 Here’s a couple of observations from the first day of GCT operating the 23 service

The 13:13  left the Galleries left 5 minutes late.

The 13:47 at Wrekenton came 5 minutes early and went straight past the stop without waiting for any potential passengers.

Also I’m sure I saw on here that Enviro 200MMC buses were to be used on these services but both were Bluebirds.

Oh, and just to add to the comments surrounding the 23's running early yesterday, a photograph has emerged online of the service running 9 minutes early in Birtley this afternoon.

Dear me.

Having done the 23, I struggle to believe that it made it's time up without missing out some part of the route. I stand to be corrected of course but in my experience it's tight and I'm no slouch. If you were on it and it did, my apologies.

Was anything ever said about the fire on the 168 a couple of weeks back? 
No idea which vehicle was involved, but it looked a wreck.

SF14HAE, and has been scrapped.  Useful parts have been stripped for re use.

Are GCT implementing social distancing?

The 333 just passed me along North Shields front with a canny few aboard - certainly looked more than 15 (which is what I believe other operators are limiting their minibuses to).

Has anyone noticed if GCT been duplicating any scholars runs? Are they getting support from any other operators?

No idea how true this is but a fellow parent whos child go's to the same school as my son has said that theres 1 specific 335 that doesnt turn up,think its the one round about 3pm (ish) that he said,like said no idea how true it is or if its even true at all,i very rarely use it myself,last time i did use it was back in May,and even then it was a different time and was also going in the other direction,anywho apart from that i had a little suggestion
What about scrapping the 319 to Jarrow and either extending the 333 or 335?

Kind Regards

I'd rather see the 9 extended back through the tunnel like it always was with the 26 extended to Lukes Lane. It's doable now since the 9 has been cut to every 30 minutes and the 26 gives better links to places rather the circular route of the 9 and replaces the utterly pointless H2.
