GNE haven’t produced stylised PDF timetables or leaflets since earlier this year.

Surely you engage and consult prior to registering changes, not after the event.

(13 Jan 2025, 10:57 am)V514DFT wrote Since they're renumbering routes, I'm surprised they didn't renumber the 9 to 29, then renumber the current 29 to something else,either way something needs doing about the numbering system as a whole, not just GNE

(13 Jan 2025, 11:15 am)Michael wrote Should bring back a local numbering system, so like:

1** for Gateshead
2** for Newcastle

and so on.

(13 Jan 2025, 2:24 pm)V514DFT wrote I agree, totally
2** Sunderland/Peterlee
3** for North Tyneside
5** for South Tyneside
6** for places like Hexham
7** for Stanley/Durham
Can't for the life of me remember where 4** was

(13 Jan 2025, 3:05 pm)Retro Nero wrote 4**  I think wasn't used on mainstream services, I can remember a few summer services.....413 Blackpool. 421 Scarborough. And 422 Bridlington

(13 Jan 2025, 3:17 pm)Storx wrote Northumberland was 4xx. 414 to Thropton, 441 Blyth to Ashington etc.

(13 Jan 2025, 6:47 pm)Retro Nero wrote 414 ,441 was when go north east took over Northumbria, The summer services (413etc)  were late 80s early 90s

(13 Jan 2025, 6:56 pm)Wow Storx wrote They might have resurrected them then but they're definitely 4xx in the 80's.

Here's a United bus in the 80's with the 441 number - https://www.flickr.com/photos/henry_pattison/49846041611/. It last quite late the 441, believe it went around 2008 when they done the big changes at Blyth where it turned into the 1, here's a Commander sporting the 441 which they were originally actually bought for with one of the of the MPD's and branded for it - https://www.flickr.com/photos/jncarter1962/8087470333

You're right actually on the 414, got the numbers mixed up that was the 416 - see here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/9003948@N05/16423881719

(14 Jan 2025, 11:53 pm)6stagecoachbusdepot wrote Sunderland was 1**
Newcastle locals were single/double digits and wasn't Gateshead a mix of these and 6**?

(22 Dec 2024, 2:12 pm)Michael wrote Looking at some of the new timetables, some services use at least 4 different stands at Park Lane throughout the day/night - confusing as out - I get its due to interworking - but still, its ridiculous.


This is on nearly every service, what's down for changes.



Example, the 2 on a Sunday...

Extremely poor

There was two signs saying "changes are coming in your area"

No timetables available as they "didn't have them delivered" But said. Available on our website

Asked why the 26 was hourly between Jarrow & South Shields but said more frequently Stagecoach services and York Road has better service and he lauged about the 26 being "improved"

The fact they ain't being very helpful goes to show how much this company has fallen.
