Undecided, its the same as the 19 and 23 for me in Springwell, it's only timed at Thorney close shops or the Prospect lidl.

Along with the 5/5A - between Thorney Close Shops and the The Wavendon,Wavendon Cres 

Both are the current Stagecoach paper/online timetables

(01 Apr 2015, 10:24 am)ifm001 wrote  new new process. But the bus stop at Wharton street South Shields has new numbers displayed in a 4 column display rather than 3 columns and the numbers are in numerical order but counting downwards in each column. Ie column 1 is 1, 3 4, 5 column 2 is 8 , 18, and so on. Looks good but different.

The bus stop at central station for services to metro centre is similar but still in the old 3 column as opposed to 4. It is going downwards in numerical. Column 1 is 10 10a 10b column 2 is 98 98a 100.  Haven't spotted any others yet though.

Oh yes, can't forget that! haha 

The hospital one has the 2 down as Silver Arrow, 8A/78/78A down as Lime (even though its the new timetable for this months changes), OH and the 39 down as Doxford Clipper..... - http://liners.nexus.org.uk/24247.pdf


How long ago was the Doxford Clipper brand dropped.... they want to run the buses but yet they can't even get brands etc right................ -.-

Edit: 700/701 is also classed as Go North East and not Sunderland Connect.

2 and/or 2A - Silver Arrow, even if it was still under this brand it is missing the "S" off Arrows.

39 - still as Doxford Clipper.

78 - does not terminate at Annfield Plain.

The 78/78A both have the wrong destinations on the board... i reported this to NEXUS a while back but got nothing back from them....

RE: Bus stop numbers
..and of course the 8A destination is wrong too, as this goes to Stanley (0627am from Sunderland).

Let's see if Go North East on their case does the job, eh, Michael? Wink

Hopefully... if NEXUS can't get the stops right... what are they going to be like if they take over!

Baffles me they can make so many mistakes with the liners.

"Chester Le Street" makes me want to claw my eyes out, too. What's the verdict from NEB's own Chester-le-Street resident..?

Wonder if they have removed the service we mustn't mention on this forum from the flags in Monkwearmouth yet? [emoji14]

Let's hope so!

RE: Bus stop numbers
Errors are forgiveable, but not correcting them in a timely manner is not. A lot of it is down to the amount of job cuts at Nexus over the past 5 years, rather than them not being bothered, I'd imagine.

Think all traces are gone...phew!!

Will have to double check the stop outside of Tesco heading towards the City Centre when I'm next there, as I think this was the bus stop which didn't want to forget it...

Was it not the other side, heading away from the City Centre?

Think the timetables were dated June (someone on a computer will be able to check the liners online)...

I can forgive the brand names being wrong (let's face it, they do change quite regularly), but why update the 78 to a new terminus if there's been no changes to route..? It's gone to Consett for years and I can't see that changing any time soon.
Bus stop numbers
One thing that irritates me is the timetables on the 5/5A route in the Bishop Auckland direction is where there is one evening service 5 journey that terminates at Newton Aycliffe, Meadowfield Way where Durham County Council's timetables on bus stops have it as a separate journey and it annoys me even more as it just says "Newton Aycliffe" which makes me think it terminates at Newton Aycliffe Town Centre when it runs further than that within Newton Aycliffe on this one journey.

Also if we think wrong brand names on timetables is bad, at least the timetables have all the services on them, unlike some of the stops down North Road, Darlington which has at least four services missing although they do have the seasonal Dalesbus and Moorsbus services!
