74 - No changes to the service, but frequency increased to a bus every hour opposed to evety two hours with the PVR incressing to two vehicles.
X92 - South Shields - Metrocentre via Westoe - Chichester - non stop - Jarrow - non stop - Heworth - Leam Lane Estate - Springwell Estate - Wrekenton - Alledene - Team Valley - Dunston.
Replaces service 92 but operates every thirty minutes.
X2 - Newcastle - Peterlee
Via Gateshead - Q.E Hospital - Wrekenton - Washington - Houghton - Le Spring - Hetton Le Hole.
Operates every 15 minutes (every 7/8 conbined with service X1 between Newcastle and Hetton Le Hole and conbined with service X35 with a 15 minute frequency between Peterlee & Hetton Le Hole).
56 - Newcastle - Sunderland.
Only change is it serves Eldon Square bus station and doesn't serve Springwell Estate on evenings and Sundays.
9 - Sunderland - Ashington via Wheatsheaf - Boldon Asda - Jarrow - Tyne Tunnel - North Shields - Royal Quays - Percy Main - Silverlink - Cobalt - Northumberland Park - Seaton - Cramlington Bedlington. Replaces service 19 but retains it's 30 minute frequency. No changes to the Sunderland - Jarrow Deptford service.
57 - Newcastle - Heworth.
Route stays the same (But terminates at Heworth opposed to Wardley) interworking with service 58. The frequency of service 57 also increased to every 15 minutes with 5293-97 being fitted with WiFi.
X22 - Bishop Aukland - Metrocentre via Spennymoor - Croxdale - Durham - Chester Le - Street - Barley Mow - Birtley - Wrekenton - non stop - Metrocentre. Operating a 15 minute frequency with service X21 between Durham and Bishop Aukland.
X46 - The route stays the same but the service operates throught the day.
69 - Winlaton - Wardley via Blaydon - Swalwell - Metrocentre - Whickham - Lobley Hill - Bensham - Q.E. Hospital - Felling Square - Leam Lane Estate. Increased frequency of every 30 minutes, replacing service 67.
27A - Newcastle - Jarrow via Gateshead - Heworth - Hebburn. A peak time service which interworks with service 5, this service will help save on dead mileage between Riverside and Jarrow on a morning and evening.
1A - Whitley Bay - Metrocentre via Marden - Tynemouth - North Shields - Wallsend - Byker - Newcastle - Gateshead - Lobley Hill - Dunston. Operates every 30 minutes (Every 15 conbined with Service 1 between Whitley Bay & Gateshead) which will also see service 96 withdrawn.
1 - Whitley Bay - Wrekenton. No changes ti the route but no services terminate at Gateshead, all terminate at Gateshead.
X87 - Heworth - MetroCentre via Leam Lane Estate - Wardley -Usworth - Concord - Albany Way - Washington. Replaces service 82 between Heworth and Concord (for more changes to services 82/82A please continue reading). This will operate every hour and will operate with service X88 (Again, please continue reading to see how I could improve the service). Both services would operate Monday -Sunday.
X88 - Route stays the dame but would operate every hour (Every 30 minutes frequency with service X87) and would operate Monday - Sunday.
82/ - Concord - Birtley via Portneades - Portobello - Ayton - Lambton - Washington - Briddick - Barmston. Basically operates every 30 minutes repacing the 82A. Heworth - Concord to be replaced by service X87.
29 - Kibblesworth - Gateshead. No changes to the service, but GNE will fund it. This will interwork with service 29A.
29A - Kibblesworth - Gateshead via Team Valley - Low Fell. This will replace service 1A (You'll have read about the changes I'd make to that I'm sure) between Kibblesworth and Gateshead. This will interwork with service 29.
I know these probably wouldn't happen in a million years, but I though I might as well post them to see people's opinions on them.
theres no need for 7/8 minute service between Newcastle and Hetton, passengers will start to complain that 3 or 4 buses will turn up together or go past not in service as the bus has to get back into his slot.
whats going to serve springwell estate on sundays and evenings.
