imo they need a better website as it's a bit crap really. The ideal scenario would be have a database of all the routes which are displayed across both the app and website and when there's a cancelled service they can mark it as cancelled so it's marked as cancelled across both with striking through the times on the timetable pages with an exclamation at the top explaining what's wrong.

It's not really hard to do in reality but it's like everything else with buses they all use the same company and they're all identical with the same identical problems.

A message on twitter and/or facebook saying remember the 600pm 56 is the last one before the next 2 are canceled...... next one due at 730pm. use service xx then change at xx to xx as an alternative. I think that would be good but obviously the manpower involved would great.

Basically not, since frrom what I can see on Bustimes, on Sundays the :13 journeys from Newcastle terminate at Easington Lane, the :33 journeys terminate at Washington Galleries, while the :53 journeys extend to Peterlee.

Interesting, that 2300 to Peterlee though, given the departure time of the previous through service.

I got a Aline on the 20 yesterday, it was one of the ex-Lothian ones. The seats were so comfortable.

I don't think any of those services serve Wembley? Not even some of the daft suggestions on here have gone to that extreme!

Last time it happened at Consett the 78 had deckers, so will probably be the same this time around if affected.
