I don't get the point of the B1 personally, the 28/28A is clearly struggling you've got a flow of passengers who could use it to top it up like you tbh but they duplicate it instead and all of a sudden it's not profitable. I might be naive but it's a bit illogical.

(05 Aug 2021, 10:24 pm)Wybus wrote Ideally there would be a bus station somewhere in the Market Street area so passengers waiting for the 56/57/58 have better conditions, and also so the X1/21/X21 etc wouldn't have to cross the entire city centre to get to Eldon Square. GNE would be able to trim 1 bus from the PVR for all those services

I was under the impression GNE lost quite a few with independents picking more up although with the weird way Nexus contracts work where you have a different operator to the one that does the morning run it can get a bit difficult to work stuff out from BusTimes

Wonder how the 41 & 41A will work

Can anyone tell me if the 21 extension is a good idea and how as I've seen it mentioned a lot but never understood why it needs it's extension. Anyone know why

(06 Aug 2021, 7:57 am)Michael wrote I'm surprised the 39 is getting downgraded to Solo's like, I thought it was a busy service, hence why 2 deckers are allocated?

(06 Aug 2021, 8:07 am)streetdeckfan wrote The cynic in me thinks that GNE are dipping their toes into competing with Arriva in Durham, they've extended the X21 to West Auckland, duplicating most of the Arriva 6 route, now they're extending the 21 to Brandon, presumably duplicating the Arriva 49. 

The upside is that it'll give passengers in Brandon a direct link to places like the Arnison Centre, Chester le Street, and Newcastle

(06 Aug 2021, 8:30 am)Kuyoyo wrote It seems the 28/28A has changed overnight
The 28 will continue to operate between Chester-le-Street and Newcastle via its present route as will the Monday to Saturday evening journeys on the 28B. The 28A will only operate between Newcastle and Perkinsville Bungalows only.
