I don't understand how you can say that Stagecoach are offering a less desirable during the day. Have your forgotten both the 55 and 52 are half hour during the day (same frequency as the 37 to Cramlington & 38 to Forest Hall
It can’t be frequency, as both operators are providing services every half an hour (albeit GNE’s being co-ordinated with other services).
I have asked on a number of occasions now as this seems to have been said multiple times, and nobody has been able to give me an answer. As far as I can see, Stagecoach’s offering is less desirable during the day (does not serve Haymarket, replacement for the 55 taking a longer route via Freeman Hospital instead of being a direct bus into town, lengthy layover in Forest Hall) - the only real advantage is that they are providing an evening service (funded by Nexus).

You can't sit there and criticism every time a operater does something. There going t9 Cramlington & Forest Hall and your saying its in quotes "Stagecoach’s offering is less desirable during the day". Probably going to Cramlington and Forest Hall to help out. The 38 is replacing the decision to replace the 55 at Four Lane Ends to Forest Hall. Maybe that's why it's happened
