I don't know, but I feel the 8 and 23 will be frequency reductions. Hopefully they're sorting out the 3's timetable which is beyond ridiculous.

RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - OrangeArrow49 - 16 Nov 2022
So Arriva won't operate any 685s from 10th December onwards?

There's also a 22nd January date floating around although that might not come from a trusted source, sadly ......LOL.

First time in 2 years?, they've ran leading up to Christmas, can't remember if they were well used or not, hopefully they are.

Virtually empty until 2pm from Newcastle then busy thereafter
Still think they better off with hourly services on Xmas Sundays and interwork at Newcastle.
Then possibly look at other Sundays. Similar with Bank Holidays. Was successful prior to covid but never returned on bank holidays after covid.
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Michael - 16 Nov 2022
Even if both the X24 and X34 was hourly on a Sunday, I think they'll still get decent passengers - could run between 9:30am and 6pm.

The biggest problem is both very one way with nothing in the opposite direction. So you might have 15 people heading towards Newcastle; there's going to be no-one going in the opposite direction and the opposite later on. There's also very little in between on both aswell. So you won't have many short hop fares.
Monday to Friday you have the X24A taking people to Doxford Park and the X34 taking people to work in the Boldon Colliery area.

So you won't have many short hop fares.Is that not the case with quite a number of services, though? It's quite common to be busy towards Newcastle in the morning and busy coming out of Newcastle in the afternoon. I suppose the issue would be whether the busy journeys would balance out the cost of the quiet ones, but as I say other services do seem to survive with that kind of similar passenger pattern.

First I've heard about this too. Nowt on DVSA about it either.
Possibly someone getting their wires crossed with it being ran out of the Arriva cabins?
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Aaron21 - 17 Nov 2022
The 685 is already ran out of Walkergate by Arriva. Its possible as heard from a lot of people Arriva were called to a meeting either last week or this week to discuss the running of the 44/45/51/52/53/54/55
Shocker is they never turned up to the meeting. Nexus were there as well
RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 17 Nov 2022
they were called to a meeting to discuss the reliability of the 44/45 with residents of dinnington and wideopen
no idea what the 685 or 51/52/53/54/55 have to do with it?

Driver availability an issue for GCT, perhaps, following recent DCC tender awards, and terminated their contract for service 516 early?
