Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(15 Feb 2024, 5:50 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Totally agree with this, just don't think a route to the airport (which is not frequent or particularly busy even during the day) is the best way to try. Especially in isolation.

(15 Feb 2024, 8:51 am)Storx Totally agreed, not to mention the 39/40 and 62/63 run every 15 minutes until 11pm or so then just stop dead. I don't believe for a second that there's a hidden time where people just suddenly think oh, 11pm - I will now not use the bus.
They need to be marketed properly though and arguably not be the same corridors as day buses in some areas, mainly where the Metro is as during the day it wouldn't make sense running a bus doing the yellow line North of Newcastle but at nights things change fast.
Will be they heaving, probably not, but if you want people dropping cars and you have night shifts as part of your job, you won't be using public transport at all until there's an option for all shifts.

(17 Feb 2024, 8:46 am)Coastliner700 The 62/63 and 39/40 probably excellent idea. Unlike other routes in the area they run almost the entire day anyway. It starts at 0500 which isn’t so usual these days and last journeys finished after midnight so it’s only few extra trips through the night to make 20 hours a day

(17 Feb 2024, 11:29 am)Economic505 What’s the 36A again? I missed earlier chats.
(17 Feb 2024, 7:46 pm)Lottie332 a route that opperated in the teesside ALX400 times between Hartlepool and Middlesbrough hopefully this one runes down wilderness road as one route every 10-15 mins is a bit daft specially when it runs late aswell

(17 Feb 2024, 8:17 pm)RobinHood Stagecoach won a contract to service Riverside Park in Middlesbrough, that has been due to start for a while. Are you sure this isn't linked to that?the X40/41 will be or should be interworked with the 6/6A
https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov....rchResults&p=1
They also won a contract to service Wynyard and link it to Hartlepool and Billingham etc, again, could be linked to that?

(18 Feb 2024, 4:45 pm)RobinHood It could be a variation of the 36 that goes via Teesdale at college times or something, as I know Stagecoach have an agreement with Stockton Riverside College already.
Would explain recent 'route learning' that has been seen.

(18 Feb 2024, 6:36 pm)tyresmoke Would have gone for Amazon myself. The tender spec required some journeys to Hartlepool so I wonder if there’s some 36s diverted (or starting…) in there?

Hopefully they make them every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 20 on a Sunday because sometimes the single deckers are full before you leave Killingworth…

(17 Feb 2024, 12:44 pm)Storx Yeah agreed, and they're arguably the busiest bus routes in the North East. If they can't get them to work, then nothing is going to work, including buses to an airport.
Like you could arguably make the argument for sending the 62/63 via the 1 route between Newcastle and Chillingham Road to serve the student areas to better serve there as let's be honest there's probably not going to be many people wanting to go to Byker from Heaton and Killingworth at 3am or whatever and the 39/40 would do the core Newcastle <> Byker links anyway.
