(17 Jul 2019, 7:03 pm)S830OFT Is the 64/95 morning journey allocating an ex EYMS bus? Because this journey used to operate with one of the OmniDekkas...
Beware that for the 6 weeks hols at least, the 95 and 64 that were operated with a Jewish contract bus will be using something else, probably a Solo.

Really hope it's actually in service tomorrow, and if it does, then it doesn't get taken out of service. It's also not tracking on the app.

There's me thinking folk that currently pay £110 for a 3-zone plus ticket to use services between Newcastle and Consett end to end would be happy that their bus fare has reduced to just £95 (i.e. £15/month saving) for an all-zones ticket...
At least the extra £15 per month in customers' pockets is helping to pay for Go North East's new depot and buses in Consett though...
It's a good saving for a regular traveller - the feedback on facebook seems to be full of people who will be paying less. There doesn't appear to be clarity around zone boundaries on the latest stuff on the website, seems to be confusing some passengers.

We're changing our travel zones to make 4 simple GoZones, meaning you can travel further with your ticket. There will be two simple choices – one zone or all zones – many of which have been reduced to make your money go further.

According to GNE,
No, Washington will now be included in both the purple and the red zone (depending on which way you want to travel)

(18 Jul 2019, 6:00 pm)Wybus Where across the area can you pick up timetables on a Saturday or Sunday? I’m thinking Durham Bus Station (assuming the racks are actually filled up) and also the racks they wheel out in Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations? Is that it?
I wouldn't bank on the racks at Durham being filled. They seem to disappear far too quickly there for some reason, even if they're full on a morning.

I guess it's got something to do with the youths loitering near the entrance in the afternoon as I sometimes see them scattered down the road

Tracked all 8 Versas on the 58. No sign of 9080. Why can't the demonstrators be out for once, especially one that only has only untill Sunday (I think) before it leaves.

I think it may be using 5383s ticket machine

Well that explains why I couldn't find 9080. Thank you
EDIT: It's not 5383. It's an untrackable board departed at 12.53 from New Bridge St
