Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2017
(03 Dec 2017, 10:39 am)S830OFT Silly question but what routes would you usually find the Riverside spare solars (4932, 33, 45)?
(03 Dec 2017, 8:34 am)Dan To gather feedback (both from staff and customers)...
Not sure why Go North East, or any other operator, would go against something which has been proven in surveys to be popular with passengers?
Is there a source for the comment about passenger numbers falling due to a lack of information - with specific references to paper timetables and via points on destination displays? I'd be interested to read more into that.
According to Transport Focus (sources linked below), Go North East scored an 88% passenger satisfaction rating with regards to exterior route/destination information in 2016 (having been 87% the previous year). The marginal increase could relate to the continued investment into white LED displays and the decrease in the number of flipdot displays. Lothian Buses by comparison have a 90% satisfaction rate in this category - notably, they've been moving away from via points too. May be a coincidence, of course?

(03 Dec 2017, 5:27 pm)S813 FVK Is there a plan to do the Red Kites etc too and if so, what would the likelihood be of a Vyking transferring to Stanley to cover? Would still quite like to have a full journey on one without it breaking down.

More rumours about 26/27
5305-5309 for crusader people is saying, this would mean 5325-5332 on 35 and 5333-5338 for 9.
2 nights in a row:
Due to a number of vehicles being targeted by youths throwing missiles at Houghton, causing damage to our vehicles, we will not be serving Houghton Church and Newbottle Street, instead diverting via Hillside Way until further notice, many apologies

(03 Dec 2017, 6:18 pm)Michael Not sure if they would need 5 more buses on that route when changes take place?
More likely 1 or 2... which i would think would be 5323/24... then maybe 5305/06 become part of the 9 allocation 5307-5309 become spares at depots which will need extra spares along with 5337/38.... if my numbers is right (probables not).... also depends on what the new PVR of the 9 will be, they'll defiantly get Citaro's.

(03 Dec 2017, 6:25 pm)S813 FVK I'd say they would need at least 3 - 1 for the frequency increase to every 10 minutes between Newcastle and Jarrow and at least 2 more to cover the longer 26 between Jarrow and South Shields.
