RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - MVK 500R - 11 Jun 2016
With the Q3 and the new service 11, do you think there'll be changes to the North Tyne Saver to allow travel on these services? Still feel a little cheated that you can't travel to Gateshead on the 1, but it lets you travel to Blyth on the 309.

(11 Jun 2016, 2:54 pm)NK53 TKT !!!! The Q3 is changing, maybe no versas!!!!
I think you may be giving yourself false hope there (and every other time you have mentioned wanting the Versas off the Q3). I doubt it is going to happen anytime soon.

Use the 46 if you dont like versas

Only goes to the Melbury part of Great Park, I live at Brunton Grange
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - NK53 TKT - 11 Jun 2016
(11 Jun 2016, 3:07 pm)Tom Excellent sending the Q3 to Wallsend! That was a massive surprise, didn't expect that. Probably use Versas off the Citylink but they are nice haha.
Wonder what way it will operate? Via Walker Riverside?
I don't care
I hope Walker following Walker Road, or it will go up Cut Bank and through Byker diverging off and missing out St Peters Basin.
If it has to use Versas I won't mide if it is the CityLink ones, I hope either citaros or omnicities but that won't happen.
Also the Q3 is also being re routed through Great Park because they have started construction of the new town centre which will mean the turning circle will be built on, therefore buses will operate anti-clockwise doing the following route north of the A1:
Rosedon Way-Sir Bobby Robson Way-SAGE-Wagonway Drive-Rosedon Way operating hail&ride a long Rosedon Way past the community centre
Me is very excited and happy
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - L469 YVK - 11 Jun 2016
When do you think all these changes will be announced then?

It seems GNE are now trying to compete in the Newcastle Cross City range now, Adds a bit more variety to the scene.

Hopefully Versa free aswell
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Tom - 11 Jun 2016
Wonder if the 1 will be cut in some way then? Seems a lot if they are having 10 buses a hour Wallsend-Newcastle!

Hopefully! They need to cut the price of single tickets too as Stagecoach are about 50p cheaper!

I have been wondering about the 1.
Convinced it will be cut at some point beyond North Shields (if not Shields) and definitely route changes between Wallsend and the town, if the 11 is going along Shields Road

Yep I would say the 1s that currently terminate at Gateshead will be cut back to terminate at Wallsend. Then again it said route and timetable would be changing so not sure...? 1 gets busy between North Shields and Wallsend so I don't think a frequency of every 15 minutes would work. That would then free up a couple of omnicities, but not sure where they could go?
The 1 and 11 could still combine to provide a bus every 15 minutes between Wallsend and Gateshead, and an improved 7/8 minute frequency between Newcastle and Wallsend with the 1/11/Q3. The Q3 makes up for the 11 not serving Quayside anyway
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - MVK 500R - 11 Jun 2016
Quite chuffed about the Q3. Means I won't have to walk up Gibson Street to catch the 1.

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes - big mac - 11 Jun 2016
I was wondering whether the q3 and 11 operating between Wallsend and Newcastle has been introduced to compensate for a possible reduction in the 1 on that section of its route.

1 is definitely running as far as Wrekenton still as the vosa registrations says it is and it would have to be cancelled I think to change the whole route. Probably have it running every 30 minutes.
Variation Accepted: Operating between WHITLEY BAY THE LINKS and WREKENTON HIGH STREET/KIBBLESWORTH SQUARE given service number 1/1A effective from 24-Jul-2016. To amend Route and Timetable.

I remember a time when GNE had more services than Stagecoach in Wallsend. Think it's about even at the moment, but I think GNE still has more services than Stagecoach, not by much.
Though I'm guessing you're half my age, I'm 31 now and lived in the Wallsend area all my life, so I've seen things come and go around here and in other areas too.

He's less than half your age! Swap the figures in your age around! Then subtract a bit.
Nearly old enough to be your mum, btw, but only a passing knowledge of Wallsend, then and now.

The 301 varied at lot. In the 80s it went to Kibblesworth, then when Metrocentre opened it went there (along with the 305). Then after a few years it only went on Saturdays (never dropped down to hourly). Then it stopped altogether, then it started going every day, then back to Saturdays before being stopped completely.

Not as chuffed as me
If they do cut the 1 the spare omnicities could go on the Q3
