RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 12 Jan 2016 (12 Jan 2016, 6:11 pm)Dan He can't get them on his own Flickr but he can get them on Arriva's website..! Haha aye Dan... That one is on Flickr though! RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - peter - 21 Jan 2016 Revisions to Service X7, X8 and X30 from 24 January, press release online here RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 22 Jan 2016 PHP PB0002032/153 - ARRIVA NORTHUMBRIA LTD, 1 ADMIRAL WAY, DOXFORD INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK, SUNDERLAND, SR3 3XP RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 23 Jan 2016 (22 Jan 2016, 10:48 am)Jimmi PB0002032/168 - ARRIVA NORTHUMBRIA LTD, 1 ADMIRAL WAY, DOXFORD INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK, SUNDERLAND, SR3 3XP Interesting... I wonder if these variations are to improve the services during the many road improvements/redevelopments in the area. The X15 may be the service reverting back to Shilbottle, and as the Newcastle-Morpeth section sees variations there might be variations to the X14/5/6/8. There isn't much route to change on the 33, nor the 35, as everything seems to be keeping well, the Demesne route in North Seaton sees decent passenger numbers. 57 is probably various timekeeping improvements, although some problems are mainly down to the drivers. Can't really see much other than the above. If more services in the Ashington/Morpeth area come through it might be bigger changes than I expect.

People were getting told off the other day for commenting on drivers and their performance... We were told it would affect moral when they read negative stuff. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 23 Jan 2016 (23 Jan 2016, 9:29 pm)Andreos1 What will posts like that do to their moral? I think most 57 passengers have had enough of the "old twat"... How you can leave Ashington on time, and arrive at Cramlington 17L is beyond me...then go SNIS along the same route to pick up time... RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - L469 YVK - 24 Jan 2016 There's a difference between drivers who run late and drivers who run late: Bad type: Deliberately driving slow and not to the permitted road and traffic conditions. Good Type: LEGALLY (not speeding) driving to the permitted road and traffic conditions to try and keep the service to time as best as safe and legally possible. The majority of drivers who run late fall in the latter category. It's only a VERY small minority who fall into the first category. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - BusLoverMum - 24 Jan 2016 (24 Jan 2016, 12:00 am)DaveyBowyer There's a difference between drivers who run late and drivers who run late:I've only experienced one of the first type It wasn't so much his driving as the faffing at every stop despite being over 20 minutes late The next driver cut that down to 5 minutes over the course of a 3 hour round trip RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Cock Robin - 25 Jan 2016 (23 Jan 2016, 9:29 pm)Andreos1 What will posts like that do to their moral? RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - mb134 - 25 Jan 2016 (23 Jan 2016, 9:36 pm)GX03 SVC I think most 57 passengers have had enough of the "old twat"... How you can leave Ashington on time, and arrive at Cramlington 17L is beyond me...then go SNIS along the same route to pick up time...Very easily, especially on a route where you are constantly turning out onto pretty busy main roads. Traffic, high passenger numbers, and other unpreventable events could have all contributed. If the driver was that much of an issue, I'm sure management would have stepped in by now. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Cock Robin - 25 Jan 2016 (07 Jan 2016, 8:13 pm)peter The new timetables for the 28/28A and 29/29A have been released: These links aren't working. I had tried to use these as I gave up trying to get anywhere on the Arriva website, and they're not up on Connect Tees Valley yet! RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - NK53 TKT - 25 Jan 2016 (22 Jan 2016, 10:48 am)JimmiSo what can they do to the 55?, or the X15 between Morpeth and Newcastle, or the 54? RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - peter - 25 Jan 2016 (25 Jan 2016, 5:59 pm)Cock Robin These links aren't working. I had tried to use these as I gave up trying to get anywhere on the Arriva website, and they're not up on Connect Tees Valley yet! The links time out...they're really easy to find on the Arriva website!!! You just search for the service, click the scroll button which just shows the website times, then click on 'full details' in the top right and look below the timetable where it says a future timetable is available from Sun Feb 21 2016. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 25 Jan 2016 Try these: 28/28a 29/29a RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - mb134 - 25 Jan 2016 (25 Jan 2016, 6:13 pm)NK53 TKT So what can they do to the 55?, or the X15 between Morpeth and Newcastle, or the 54? Change the timings??? RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Adrian - 25 Jan 2016 (23 Jan 2016, 9:36 pm)GX03 SVC I think most 57 passengers have had enough of the "old twat"...

So just to clarify; enthusiasts aren't allowed to comment on depot operation, because they "don't know what goes on behind the scenes", yet someone not old enough to even hold a provisional licence is more than qualified to 'assess' the standards of a professional driver? Just remember that we're all entitled to an opinion, without fear of being shot down. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - L469 YVK - 25 Jan 2016 (25 Jan 2016, 4:10 pm)mb134 Very easily, especially on a route where you are constantly turning out onto pretty busy main roads. Traffic, high passenger numbers, and other unpreventable events could have all contributed. Then thats a good type of driver who is trying to keep the service to time safely and legally despite the unfavourable conditions. It's only a VERY small minority who take the p**s.
