RE: Compass Community Transport - biglugs@yahoo.com - 28 Mar 2016 (28 Mar 2016, 5:35 pm)Michael Not sure what you mean? Like what service will replace the gilley law to moorside section RE: Compass Community Transport - Michael - 28 Mar 2016 (28 Mar 2016, 5:45 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Like what service will replace the gilley law to moorside section 5/5A, like now, as the City Centre to Gilley Law section is ran on a commercial bases by Stagecoach on a Monday-Saturday day time. On evenings and Sundays - it will be the 77 or 77A - running hourly - NEXUS funded. Edit: However, i was wondering if the 5A would be dropped, as the 5/5A do the same route until the city centre then split off to the docks.... it would seem a good idea to drop the 5A.

But will it continue to doxford park as some runs run onto and run of the x1 RE: Compass Community Transport - Michael - 28 Mar 2016 (28 Mar 2016, 5:54 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com But will it continue to doxford park as some runs run onto and run of the x1 I would imagine so, its only the City Centre - Docks section of the route which are dropped from the Monday-Saturday day service. RE: Compass Community Transport - Dan - 29 Mar 2016 (28 Mar 2016, 12:45 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Traveled on the 8x and the driver said they were bidding for a new sunderland service ran by stagecoach now i couldnt talk anymore as i then alighted but does any one know which service? The contract for service 8X (and the scholars/workers services it interworks with) comes up for renewal in July. http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=848&pid=158872#pid158872 Compass Community Transport - Jimmi - 29 Apr 2016 An intresting development... PB1074031/16 - COMPASS COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LTD T/A COMPASS COMMUNITY TRANSPORT, UNITS 11 - 12, SANDMERE ROAD, LEECHMERE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SUNDERLAND, SR2 9TP Registration Accepted by SN Starting Point: Sunderland Royal Hospital Finish Point: Hylton Castle Road Shops, Sunderland Via: Sunderland enterprise Park, Premior Road, Pallion Retail Park Service Number: 99 Service Type: Normal Stopping Effective Date: 22-MAY-2016 Other Details: Monday to Saturday only RE: Compass Community Transport - Dan - 29 Apr 2016 (29 Apr 2016, 3:17 pm)Jimmi An intresting development... I'd suggest that Nexus have probably stepped in to offer a limited off-peak service, utilising the same minibus which is allocated to scholars 836, Team Valley workers service 939 and evening service 8X, giving residents of the North Sunderland Estates a direct bus to the Royal Hospital. RE: Compass Community Transport - Michael - 03 May 2016 Does anyone have anymore info on the 99, like a timetable, route map etc? I like to know where its going to turn around at the Hospital and the shops at Hylton Castle shops?, i don't remember anywhere to loop around in those area's unless it goes not in service to turn around. RE: Compass Community Transport - biglugs@yahoo.com - 06 May 2016 An enthusiast driver from.compass has told me that yx08kxo roof went to sf56dny and yx08kxo got turned into a motorhome The new fiats that replaced some ivecos has gained ticket machines to act as an emergency spare for there service work.

Although it could be driver talk, no news has come out for the 99 yet.

He said they aquired 5 fiats with ticket machines so if this has anything to do with this.

Not sure, the PVR won't be 5, it should be 1, depending its route and timings.. Which we don't know yet. They could of gained a couple of other services, I'm not even sure what services they provide.

Hopefully sf56dny isnt used and the solo can be used RE: Compass Community Transport - biglugs@yahoo.com - 10 May 2016 Today yx09eud was on the 939 instead of sf56dny i think sf56dny should be the spare as yx09eud has bells Compass Community Transport - Jimmi - 12 May 2016 PB1074031/14 - COMPASS COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LTD T/A COMPASS COMMUNITY TRANSPORT, UNITS 11 - 12, SANDMERE ROAD, LEECHMERE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, SUNDERLAND, SR2 9TP Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Sunderland Interchange and Team Valley given service number 939 effective from 31-May-2016.

RE: Compass Community Transport - Michael - 13 May 2016 (13 May 2016, 4:38 pm)peter The new 99 timetable is now available on the Nexus website here. Timetable is quite crap for it, nothing after 2pm at all.. pointless, it won't last. RE: Compass Community Transport - Dan - 13 May 2016 (13 May 2016, 4:45 pm)Michael Timetable is quite crap for it, nothing after 2pm at all.. pointless, it won't last. It's exactly what I said it would be - a limited off peak service providing a direct link to the hospital from the North Sunderland estates, using the same bus which is allocated to a scholars service, 939 and 8X. At the moment, that bus does nothing during the day. It will be one of those Volkswagen or Fiat minibuses allocated, as the 8X has a maximum vehicle length contractual requirement due to the nature of the route in South Hylton. RE: Compass Community Transport - tyresmoke - 13 May 2016 (13 May 2016, 4:55 pm)Dan It's exactly what I said it would be - a limited off peak service providing a direct link to the hospital from the North Sunderland estates, using the same bus which is allocated to a scholars service, 939 and 8X. Spot on - an all day service until 5pm would cost too much as it would require another bus to be able to run their existing contracts, which would probably push the costs of the 99 over what they were willing to take on. If it fits between existing stuff then you're only really needing to cover the wages and fuel... Am I right in thinking this is a commercial punt by Compass CT? |
