(28 Dec 2014, 12:31 pm)Michael 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

(28 Dec 2014, 12:38 pm)citaro5284 I think Sunday daytime is a 20 min frequency, but unsure if it is going to be 2 x 2 and 1 x 2A or vice versa.

From 25th January the times of most buses on Go North East route 17, between Cramlington and Wallsend, are changed by a few minutes.

(28 Dec 2014, 5:53 pm)Dan I overheard two gentlemen in Wallsend discussing changes to service 17, and one claimed that he had been 'reliably informed' that service 17 was to decrease to a 30-minute frequency from its current 20-minute frequency, so as to allow the PVR to decrease by one vehicle which will in turn assist with the withdrawal of another Volvo B10BLE from the fleet. Perhaps the timings have had to be altered accordingly for the Cramlington 'extension' of the route?

(28 Dec 2014, 8:21 pm)Tom So the 17 is going to be hourly - are you kidding me?

(28 Dec 2014, 8:27 pm)Dan I'll be a little more explicit than before...
Providing the two gents I overheard were correct, then the frequency will be every 30 minutes from Whitley Bay to Benton ASDA (as opposed to current 20 minute frequency), and hourly from Benton ASDA to Cramlington (as present). I assume there will be some increased layover time to stamp out any reliability issues that there may be, too.
I'm not too sure why the Northumberland timetable only lists the hourly extensions to Cramlington...

(28 Dec 2014, 8:29 pm)Tom Oh right - still not happy with that, and reliability isn't as bad as other services like the Coaster.

(28 Dec 2014, 8:38 pm)DaveyBowyer For the 17, Streetlites could be justified and despite the length of the route, the sections (with the exception of Burn Bank) aren't too demanding for the little 4.5l lump.

(29 Dec 2014, 10:27 am)BJ10VUS The 82 and 83 are pretty confusing!
Seems like there'll be no evening or Sunday service between Concord and Heworth, with daytime journeys operating via Grange Crescent and High Heworth Lane. As well as this, new works service, 982, is introduced between Concord and Stevenson Industrial Estate. In case nobody noticed it, I've added the timetable for the 982.

(29 Dec 2014, 10:36 am)Dan Due to the above changes, the PVR of a number of services will decrease:
This will result in a number of repaints and transfers around the region, though these will be established closer to the time. I'd suggest that it's quite likely that further Volvo Olympians will be disposed of due to these expected transfers though, so get some photos and suchlike while you can...
