So today I thought I would go onto some of GNE new services and JH Coaches, so i did, 39B, 82 and X71 (not a new route I know), I was meant to try the 29 but my bus broke down.. 

One thing that struck me about Doxford Park is that all the car parks were full of cars, as GNE keep cutting services from Doxford, with the 20 evening service cancelled, 55 all day Doxford service cancelled & 39 being every 30 mins on a Saturday, and every 60 mins on an evening, every 90 on a sunday, GNE should do what they did with Follingsby and go around all the businesses as see where there employee live so GNE can offer services to them. 

Because the 39/39A/39B must be one of the worst routes, Its like going from Newcastle - Metrocentre - Chester Le Street - Gateshead - Chester-Le-Street - Metrocentre - Newcastle, it should be a loop.
