I was wondering the same thing when I looked at the timetable.

I'm pretty sure I still see the services operating when I finish work at around 3pm.

Potentially because that's all Go North East could justify running commercially - the loadings may be lower outside of those hours.

Go North East will operate all runs except service 708 (which as i understand was part of the cancellation for Stanley Travel suggesting that this particular service won't operate anymore) only the services will finish some 3 hours earlier than they do currently. 

Currently, the last journey is a service 708 and departs Stanley Bus Station at 17:09 and arrives back at Stanley at 17:51
When the new timetable is introduced, the last journey will be service 707 and will depart Stanley Bus Station at 13:44 and arrive back at 14:12

Now baring in mind most people who use this service are OAPs, it is a wise decision to cut the service shorter than it actually is. I mean, its not as if they don't have the other services that go through Tanfield Lea, Catchgate and Annfield Plain although there are no other services that go through West Kyo, Harperley, Hamsterley Gardens or Fines Park.

Would stick the 8 on T and swap allocations for L and around.

The 8 is then with other North Sunderland services - attracting passengers to it, who would ignore if it was left as it is.
Frequent services to Houghton on adjoining stands.

I was just thinking frequency wise, and so stands weren't congested but i agree 8 could do better if it was on Stand T, although it only passes through the enterprise park

I would imagine the Q3 will replace the X40,like NK05 GWZ said in hes post and it looks like all of the Quaylink may be ran by GNE commercial, as citaro said this in the GNE thread about the Quaylink (as someone also posted about the Q1 and Q3 in there)

-----------------------------
here is the post...

Therefore one assumes Go North East have been awarded the QuayLink contract, however more interestingly is this Q3 is essentially replacing the X40 to great Park, wonder how thats going to work!

Are the 21 changes registered earlier linked to the Front St closure as opposed to more hopeful fanciful re-routing through Newcastle?

Does anyone know if the 2/2A will run a better frequancy on a Sunday when changes happen at end of January, as the current 42 runs every 15 minutes on a Sunday, with the 2A hourly, 2C hourly.

Also including late evening
