(15 Nov 2023, 7:49 pm)Aaron21 I've heard today not sure if it's true but I'm told the 308 has been registered to Stagecoach on boxing day. Not sure if fully true as haven't seen anyone post owt

Wouldn't be surprised if they run the whole lot, other than independents there's not really anyone else to run them. Don't believe Arriva bother on Boxing Day and GNE can't.

(16 Nov 2023, 8:38 am)Rob44 This might have been explained before and sorry if i going to make someone repeat them selves but why are nexus "paying" for a bus on boxing day that leaves the area it serves ( tyne and wear)?  Surely it should be turned around at WBCP or should be paid 50/50 with northumberland county council/ Same goes for the 43 ect shourely nexus should be putting money into theat?

Northumberland County Council usually makes pro-rata payments to Nexus and Scottish Borders Council where their secured services enter and provide services within the county.

Wouldn't shock me the independent gain a few this boxing day. Stagecoach have to put in with the others. I've been told the 37 has a Killingworth board put in so more than likely that's running as far as Killingworth on boxing day instead of Cramlington. 

Phoenix if anything will probably get the X21 again. Be surprised if Weardale or Stanley Travel put in for some as well. Can't see Go North East putting owt in

Pathetic running the 43, X10 and X11. 3 corridors which mostly duplicate each while the whole of the X7 and X9 corridors have no bus service at all. 

It's not like they're dead bus routes which only carry 5 people. 

Get rid of the X10 and run the X7, X9 and X11 then everyone is covered in SE Northumberland and North Tyneside (Burradon / South Gosforth / Quorum etc).

That's pretty normal, though.  Worse is that they pull the buses off from the termini quite a while before the "end of service", so if you're trying to get INTO the centre, you've got no chance unless you start quite early.  I got caught out by that one a few years ago, trying to get in from Wallsend, only watch a series of services turn up, disgorge passengers, and then head off NIS - I eventually realised that I was stuffed, and ended up walking from Wallsend back to Heaton.  (At least it wasn't too far!)

It makes sense to cater for the majority and if theres a flow to and from the town for the Newcastle game in addition to any shoppers heading to and from the sales, then they would be daft to ignore it.
