(23 Jul 2016, 7:49 am)Dan wrote Service 33 is a new contract operating between Newcastle City Centre and Hollywood Avenue:

It is currently operated by Kingsley's Coaches under contract to Nexus, but will be operated by Go North East from Sunday.

(23 Jul 2016, 7:54 am)Jamie M wrote Another question that's come to mind is why do GNE even need Crook depot? There's only 10 buses to which some are replaced by CLS buses at points during the day. I regularly see V338LGC operate CLS' 21 and CLS tridents crop up on the X21, and after a certain time and sundays - the whole X21 route ran by CLS.

554 will be used on the ASDA bus, allowing 557 to be used alongside 547 (which has transferred to Riverside from Stanley) on service 33.

(23 Jul 2016, 9:46 am)Tom wrote Anyone know where the 11 will be stopping in Gateshead heading to Whitley Bay? Will it be the stop where most of the buses stop going to Newcastle or where the 1 stops now to Whitley Bay.

(23 Jul 2016, 10:09 am)Jamie M wrote It would be nice if it ran into and from eldon square, but there's always too much traffic which i would imagine would create some bottlenecks on a route that long.

What will be allocated to the 554? (Newcastle - Regent Centre - Four Lane Ends - Quorum)

(23 Jul 2016, 12:04 pm)Dan wrote Ironically... 554!

It will interwork with the Byker ASDA service.

(24 Jul 2016, 9:59 am)citaro5284 wrote I agree.  I can remember the 317 using Atlanteans and Olympians, then it went all modern with the Optare Excels.  Route never changed for years either, Whitley Bay to North Shields Ferry via Preston Grange.

(24 Jul 2016, 10:14 am)grandad wrote Presumably the 10 PVR will have been increased to cater for the extension to Blackhall Mill.  What with?

Sorry if this info has already been posted.

I mostly had B10BLEs on It but had 4930 yesterday.

Does anyone know how long it operated for?
