RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - NK53 TKT - 12 Jul 2016 (12 Jul 2016, 5:51 pm)Michael wrote Loads on VOSA today, 156 in total, not all Arriva though!Woah! I wonder if there are issues in the Haymarket? RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - V514DFT - 12 Jul 2016 (12 Jul 2016, 7:55 pm)NK53 TKT wrote Woah! I wonder if there are issues in the Haymarket?The 53 is to amend route and timetable that doesnt go to the haymarket,interesting that one RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - passenger_10 - 12 Jul 2016 (12 Jul 2016, 7:55 pm)NK53 TKT wrote Woah! I wonder if there are issues in the Haymarket? Lots of changes right across Northumbrian routes. Seems odd to be changing the X18 timetable during the summer season. Also its not just one corridor as the 35 and 494 don't share any common bits with the X18 or 306 routes. Could it be school bus work related? It's the only reason I can see for altering lots of routes right across the region on the same day. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - PH - BQA - 12 Jul 2016 (12 Jul 2016, 9:54 pm)passenger_10 wrote Lots of changes right across Northumbrian routes. There have been changes in September to services in Northumberland for the past couple of years, such as these last year. It seems to be the time Arriva choose to make any 'large' changes in the area.

Darlington and Durham nearly always has changes around mid May then sometimes a few at the end of October.

I'm not sure on this, but doesn't it always say 'Route and Timetable' even if it's only the timetable that is changing?

Therefore "route and timetable" could be limited to just one journey at school times with the rest of the service completely unchanged. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - L469 YVK - 13 Jul 2016 The two Coast Road services will be an interesting change considering that the Monday to Saturday daytime 309 / 310 services will run 2 minutes ahead of the 306 / 308 from the W/C 25th July between Station Road / Newcastle as well as running almost bang in the middle during Sunday daytimes. Can't see them changing either the 306 / 308 for reliability reasons unless an extra bus or two could be sourced. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Tom - 13 Jul 2016 They need to sort the 308 out especially as that is the worst and the 306 and 308 always end up running together so the 7/8 minute frequency between them never works out RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - citaro5284 - 13 Jul 2016 (13 Jul 2016, 3:47 pm)L469 YVK wrote The two Coast Road services will be an interesting change considering that the Monday to Saturday daytime 309 / 310 services will run 2 minutes ahead of the 306 / 308 from the W/C 25th July between Station Road / Newcastle as well as running almost bang in the middle during Sunday daytimes.

Of course, with the roadworks at the Silverlink junction, they could be putting in some service changes to combat the delays which are going to happen.

The 308 either needs another bus added or a parallel express running in a similar way to the way that the Angel / Castles Express work together.

Of course, with the roadworks at the Silverlink junction, they could be putting in some service changes to combat the delays which are going to happen. They could do that but bearing in mind that Arriva have a strong coridoor between Billy Mill / Willington Square including St Peters & Holy Cross for the 308, the revenue gained between Station Road / Newcastle is like the icing on the cake of the revenue gained in their monopoly areas. Arriva may well time them to sit bang in the middle or at worst, in front. But at GNEs advantage, GNE 'could' fill in the gap of an express service with some double deckers (or single deckers) either sourced from within GNE or with more cascades from B&H if any available. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Shrek - 13 Jul 2016 The changes on 44 and 45 could be returning the evening and sunday services to loop as the Commercial department have said they would look to change it back asap after complaints after they stopped it.

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 01 Aug 2016 On VOSA today, the last one is a shock!

Arriva and Travelsure already accept each other's tickets so there won't be a big difference for passengers.

I had it on good authority that Travelsure's days doing the 472 were over, however I had no proof so didn't want to post anything. Surely this means more Solo's/MPDs for Ashington?

Surely this means more Solo's/MPDs for Ashington? Only need one Solo for the 57s, so I see just a MPD or one of the Solos being used. PVR will be 1 for the 472 anyway.

Would it not be more cost effective to operate the service from the Alnwick outstation? Considering it starts and finishes in Alnwick in the morning/evening.

In the most recent timetable I can see it looks like the current PVR is 2 buses? A reduction to one wouldn't surprise me however given NCC's desire to save money.

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 12 Aug 2016 Newcastle Council Consultation 12 August 16 Newcastle City Council have unveiled £20m of improvements to two of the busiest junctions in Newcastle, including Haddricks Mill and Blue House roundabouts. The junctions form part of a key corridor that runs across the city from Cowgate to the north of the city in Gosforth. Both junctions suffer from high levels of congestion and delays and are well-known collision hotspots. https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/north-east/Latest/Newcastle-Public-Consultation/ Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 15 Aug 2016 PB0002717/14 - ARRIVA DURHAM COUNTY LTD, 1 ADMIRAL WAY, DOXFORD INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK, SUNDERLAND, SR3 3XP Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Darlington and Colburn given service number X26/X27 effective from 05-Sep-2016.
