- X5/X15 - No data yet for Sunday times
- X30/X31
- X45
- X70/X71/X72 - No data for X70 with new times, no data yet for Sunday X72
- 6
- 12
- 16B
- 47
Main points observed:
* X30 will run a 90 minute evening service as already confirmed
* X45 will only extend Hownsgill Monday to Saturday daytimes
* 47 will only extend to Shotley Bridge Hospital during Monday to Saturday daytimes
* 47 will only run between Blackhall Mill and Newcastle later in the evening as opposed to Consett
Interworking patterns noticed:
* Appears that services X30/X31/X45 will interwork during Monday to Saturday daytimes.
* Appears that service 47 and services X70/X71/X72 will run standalone (or interwork in their common service groups) during Monday to Saturday daytimes.
* Evening 47 and X45 journeys appear to be standalone.
* Evening X30 journeys appear to be standalone.
* Evening X72 journeys appear to be standalone.
* Sunday 47 and X45 journeys appear to interwork with a 5 hour driving cycle. Looks like both services will get a 13 minute layover at Eldon Square on Sundays.
* Sunday X30 appears to be run by Riverside (as previously suspected) interworking with services 6 & 12. Will be a 5 hour driving cycle.
* Sunday X72 appears to be run standalone (data to be confirmed) either being run by Riverside (with reliefs at Gateshead) or Consett (with reliefs at Stanley).
This is the data I managed to pull
Hmm, no bus from Newcastle to Consett after 21:25 on a Sunday.
Second X72 of the day from Stanley is 12 minutes earlier and that is going to directly affect me.
I know there's been problems with that particular X72 as when it reaches Cragside Gardens, it coincides with a convenience store's delivery van arriving, delaying the service on some days as the van remained put until the delivery was complete.
