And that comes from experience. Which now results in a much more reliable method of getting to Royal Quays.

9 to Jarrow for a 10. They seem to be the best option.

Not all have the option, or indeed the nous to be able to adapt.

Luck behold the 19 appeared and jumped on that and asked the driver about the 317 and he said it had already gone so im not quite sure it was all good when stagecach had it either.  Give it to GCT that what i say

(03 Jun 2024, 8:41 am)RMF1254 wrote It’s not always ok. Some drivers are excellent, others barely acknowledge you’re getting on the bus. Timing varies, the other week I missed a 351 despite being at the stop 3 minutes before it was due and didn’t see it on the way to the stop.Looking at Bus Times it was 5 minutes early and already on the Coast Rd. Last Friday couldn’t get on at St Mary’s Place as it was full and standing, those mini Enviro 200s are useless on there but that’s up to Nexus.

Should be used on NSA aswell, with a description of the issue

From approx 6:00pm tonight until around 10:00pm (Wednesday 07 August) Stagecoach North East buses will be operating on diversion routes away from West Road, Newcastle, and the immediate surrounding area. This includes services 10, 11, 12, 32, 32A, 37, 38, 39, 40, 685, X82.  Buses will call at their normal stops in Newcastle city centre, and west of Two Ball Lonnen in Fenham.

(07 Aug 2024, 1:42 pm)OrangeArrow49 wrote I'm assuming the 684 is unaffected and will operate its normal route? Just all the Stagecoach routes are diverting?

(07 Aug 2024, 3:24 pm)Ambassador wrote The road will be closed as the protest target is the Beacon which is on the West Road itself. I imagine GNE just haven't updated as quickly as Stagecoach

(07 Aug 2024, 4:34 pm)OrangeArrow49 wrote Cheers, Storx. Hopefully the protest/demonstration/riot isn't too bad. It's been really bad elsewhere recently.

Presumably the 684 will follow the 685 diversion along Two Ball Lonnen and Fenham Hall Drive between the Fox and Hounds & Newcastle.
