RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - JP6004 - 16 May 2017
It would still be possible to operate with PVR of 5 and have a decent layover
Currently X66 has 10mins layover & S1 has 2mins after full trip. I've knocked this together and would be possible to for X66 to have 10mins and S1 18mins layover with timing in between (based on current timetable)

(16 May 2017, 8:58 am)Jamie M wrote The S1 is rather unique in it's secret passageways around the Metrocentre, the only place to get traffic is around the back of Asda, and there's seldom any traffic away from peak time.

I'm not sure whether re-building work has taken place in the intervening years, but there are (or were) a couple more secret passageways.
Prior the Metrocentre opening on Sundays, it played host to an annual road-race that started near Marksies and entered the loading area behind Home-Sense.
I can't remember the exact route from there, but without entering the centre, the race emerged somewhere near House of Fraser, before finishing at Marksies.

Not forgetting the section between the coach park and the roundabout at Asda/Harry Ramsdens.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Malarkey - 17 May 2017
Just going to go out on limb and say the evening service in Washington is an absolute joke, with a review of the network and timings altered to meet passenger demand and improve overall reliability.
So here is a example in it's finest form from my evening commute back home from work.
Today I was on my usual 11:30-19:30 shift to which I will catch the 20 at 19:50 from Doxford International to Houghton le Spring before getting on the 20:10 X1 to The Galleries, which usually gets into The Galleries at around 20:23, coincidentally at the same time the 50A departs to go Chester le Street, to which I have caught once in the past week, every other time pulling away as I got to the doors of stand c. Now if I lived in or around Pelton or Beamish for the sake of this argument, I could either wait 1 hour for the next 50A or catch the 82 to Birtley and then for a 21 to CLS to therefore make a connection onto either the 28/34 or 78 to get home, bit of a pain in the arse when a Driver could quite easily wait an extra 30 Seconds to see if anyone gets off and wants the bus before pulling away, but no they always pull away before you even get a chance to get off the other bus don't they.
Another example would be again catching the X1 but this time from Newcastle to Washington which arrives at 20:32, ohhh coincidentally the exact same time the 82 departs to go Birtley, the 4 departs towards Heworth ohhh and lets not forget the 4 in opposite direction towards Houghton, basically meaning anyone looking to make an onward connection onto the housing estates of Washington etc are faced with waiting upto 30 Minutes for the next bus, or worse case scenario if live in Chester le Street or beyond Penshaw heading into Sunderland you have an hour to wait for the next bus.

I've made similar comments about services in Chester on an evening. Far from ideal.
However, getting back to Washington... Services and connections late on in the afternoon have caused me no end of problems. What would be 1 bus trip ends up being two, a long wait and a long walk.
Edit: Meant Sunday afternoon services.

But if you worked at Doxford and lived in Chester le Street, it would be easier to get the 36 from Houghton at 20.33 - no need to go via Washington and potentially miss the connection?
The X1 is due to arrive at Washington Galleries from Newcastle at xx27 on an evening - which should give enough time to connect with a service departing at xx32

I wonder if Stagecoach will return to review Sunderland, after they visit Teesside for a 10% cull of the PVR there?

If they do, i think the 18 will be withdrawn, its mostly empty.
Can't see any cuts to any other services though they seem to be doing alright.
----
Was rumoured the X36 will go by end of the year for Go North East, seen it a few times and it was empty.... But this is based on seeing it only once a day at the same time, om 3 different days.
Can't see where Go North East could change in Sunderland, most of the services seem to be working (expect for the X36).

Not sure if its allocated anything specific....the Riverside 58 or 97 dupes tend to use whatever is spare or whatever the driver has used in the end of his shift before the halfshift.

As part of a rationalisation of O-Licences across the Go-Ahead Group, Go North East will surrender its 'Go Northern' licence from 23rd July 2017, with all vehicles and services being registered under 'Go North East'.
There has been a recent change in stance by the traffic commissioner on bus operators which have multiple licences but are managed as one single entity. I would imagine both Arriva and Stagecoach North East will follow suit, at some point this year.
As such, you will see every 'Go Northern' service cancelled and re-registered under 'Go North East Ltd'. Possibly not worth copying and pasting all of them, as there'll be quite a few!

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 06 Jun 2017
I wonder if the 2 MPD's at Hexham will go then?
Looks like loads of changes from the 23rd July........
Whats the difference on the Hexham routes?, i can't see any.

We know the X66 and the S1 are being merged sometime soon - but why cancel the X66 registration and re-registered it rather than just amending it?

I wonder if Washington changes are coming up?
Very like the old 292 service. Just operating one half of the loop, opposed to a circular service.
I won't comment too much on yet more changes to the Birtley -Washington services. The 81 is a number that hasn't been used before on them mind...

Not sure, as we haven't seen the timings. If the frequency of the services stay as it currently is, I can see the PVR staying the same.
It may even decrease.
It looks like the new 83/84 is just the Heworth - Galleries part of the existing 82 series.
Obviously the 81/82 PVR will drop, with the route being shortened.
So in theory, the new 83/84 would be made up of the balance of the current 82.
