RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - S813 FVK - 25 Mar 2016

(25 Mar 2016, 7:30 am)citaro5284 So they dont have any buses at all in the area of Hobson?

Not directly through it, no. If they were to walk to Pickering Nook or Crookgate they would.

I still think that, given that there is a large number of people, both residents and workers, that need to use the bus to/from Hobson, it was a mistake withdrawing the service (ie 44/44A). I suppose the argument of GNEs data could be brought into this one though.

I've done the old 44/44a on numerous occasions prior to the changes and the numbers travelling to/from the hobson were very few, 95% of journeys you'd not stop. The current 6 during peak hours only carries a handful if that.

(25 Mar 2016, 7:34 am)Ambassador Indeed the point is reliability improvements, amendments to timetable and slight changes are corporate bluster for cuts 

GNE are excellent at communicating and equally good when they don't want to

These service changes aren't about making cuts at all - they genuinely are about improving the reliability of services.

This is not me "absolutely bumming" Go North East, but giving the facts. The PVR of the 5/50 services will increase by one vehicle when the services interwork from next month, as there will be increased running and layover times.

The PVR of the Angel 21 won't be reduced with journeys terminating short at Chester-le-Street Red Lion as opposed to Black Horse. These trips are regularly regulated anyway, which Go North East's various systems would have proven (real time information, lost mileage records, etc). This just allows extended layover periods, in a bid to make the service more reliable.

(24 Mar 2016, 9:18 pm)Tom How will there be no service in Barley Mow? Won't it not just be the 82/82A as it is now but have a 82B serving Harraton and Rickleton?

I think you're right, Tom.

Services 82 and 82B will each be hourly, providing a combined 30-minute frequency, as present.

That makes sense I suppose, it will at lease stop the coffin dodgers from moaning.

I hope it isn't like this through the week though, that is a recipe for disaster.....

It does say Sundays, no mention of Monday to Saturday in the article.

It's pretty vague like.

How is it vague?

It does not say any other day other than Sunday which means only the Sunday timetable is changing.

I know this doesn't involve the 82s -
But what's changing to the 88/88A? Extra running time?

The 93/94 looks interesting I wonder if it could be connected with the new branding be launched?
