Well who wants to take a guess of how long it is before 1401 is withdrawn from service. Started and X11 somewhere before Cramlington. Then did an X10 back to Newcastle but looks like it broke down somewhere after coming of the A1. Tbh when it past me on the X8 the other day. It sounded like it was on its last legs

It's sad to see how many services we have lost over the years, from looking at the Bygone era. There were a few surprised for me to discovr too. 

- Stagecoach operated a service to Retail World in Team Valley and Washington Galleries to/from the Metrocentre.
- The Nexus 792 service has the same timetable now as in 1997, but runs to/from Blackhall Mill, extended from Rowlands Gill 
- Westerhope used to have services to/from Metrocentre, Blaydon, Winlaton, and High Spen and the Airport. Good links. 
- Apparently GNE operated the Stagecoach 40 on weekends in 2002. 

Because Westerhope is off the A1, and has Metrocentre services (6 and 7) new services to/from Metrocentre, Blaydon, Winlaton, High Spen and Blackhall Mill serving Westerhope should be introduced by Go North East, not just because it would be good for me, but also because the A1 could be utilised from Westerhope to provide services across the region to Gateshead, South Shields, Stanley, Consett, Hartlepool, Darlington etc.

Are there any existing threads regarding the various NE bus wars over the years?

Stagecoach West seem to have an order in place for some E400MMC's in the Amber Long Distance Livery.

Evening increases for services 311 and Q3 from 15 May


Following on from most of our routes returning to full service levels last month, we’re making improvements to Cobalt and Coast 311 and QuayCity Q3 to help with the next phase of the country unlocking.

Evening timetables on both services will be increased from Saturday 15 May to make it easier to get out and about on an evening.

You can view our timetables by heading to our timetables and maps section, selecting your service and changing the calendar to your desired date.



From the same date, services 79 and 79A will be operated by another company – check Nexus’ website for more information.
