September Service Changes
(12 Aug 2021, 10:43 am)Thomas12 On a separate note, I really don't understand why the Wallsend-Howdon part of the 41 wasn't merged with the 42/42A.42/42A I’m sure used to serve howdon when it continued to North Shields, got axed the day before lockdown 1 but could see potential, doubt it’d be gne to do it seeing as they done it before
Would've provided more links from Howdon to Benton ASDA, Four Lane Ends and the key employment sites, especially when the 41 and 42 don't connect at all in Wallsend.

42/A never served Howdon. Cause if I remember correctly. Gct 335 has took over the old 42/A route to North Shields
Nexus have replaced the 42/42A between Cobalt and North Shields by extending service 335 (every 30 minutes Monday – Friday daytime & every 60 minutes Saturday daytime). The 335 will continue to be operated by Central Taxis of Gateshead

Gct 335 has took over the old 42/A route to North ShieldsThe 42/A's DID serve Howdon,and both used to serve Forest Hall as the 42/A was a mix of the 17/A,80,and 353,what was said was GNE werent looking to replace the 42/A Wallsend-North Shields as it was covered by other services, 1,11,22,41 and GCT's 335,thats also why Nexus are in talks about re-routing the 335 via Palmersville and Forest Hall to replace the lost half hourly link

The new PDF timetables appear to be missing a vital bit of info…the service number?
Pretty important if they’re saved or directly sent/linked between people rather than the via the website,

(12 Aug 2021, 10:38 pm)Train8261 There Facebook and Twitter today has been flooded with negative comments about some changes. I'm sure half of them don't even read into it and just see one service being withdrawn but don't even read it will be replaced by this route

New 78 timetable confirms the Consett and Castleside only runs will NOT be ran by Coast and Country buses (mainly on a night and Sundays).... I take it this will be a Venture Solo?
Edit:
47/47A also has its own PDF - https://passenger-line-assets.s3.eu-west...e09c47.pdf - own brand?
