(06 Dec 2014, 6:48 pm)Dan Just remember that was very early speculation based on what I thought would happen - far from confirmation of any sort... Tongue 

Ye but they will know that if they read it! Tongue

(06 Dec 2014, 6:32 pm)Michael I don't think the solars will be replaced this year, maybe next year but i agree, the South Shields - Sunderland part is going from Citaros/scania's to all scania's.... Even with the laser citaro's moving over to the 20/20A they're wont be enough and we have to remember the new 2/2A will need more citaro's, only place they can really get them from is the Laser, i don't think GNE will want a mixture of buses on the 2/2A.

Although iv'e just thought, the B7RLE's could be available for the 20/20A if the Toonlink get the new buses, that means they won't have to be repainted! 

It's a strange one.
Can't ever see a service, such as the Lime 78 ever deviating from the Consett/Stanley - Sunderland via Chester route, for similar reasons to those I mentioned earlier with the 35 (established, brand associated with service etc).

Has there been no registration/variation for the 38?

Not yet, the 71 one still hasn't appeared for its cancellation, these should appear tomorrow.. hopefully.

Nothing today, and they are starting on the 25th Jan!

Think I read on one post that Go North East submitted these to VOSA on Friday 28th November? It's VOSA who are behind, if so, and nothing to do with GNE...


RE: GNE Bus Changes. - cbma06 - 08 Dec 2014

even the proposed service 33 not been registered yet aswell.

If the council has to be involved securing some journeys etc.. it can take up to the 25th Jan and even after that as their have certain lay way with VOSA.

Oh right - cheers Smile

Do you think the changes for the 38 are still going ahead though?

I think all changes will go ahead as proposed.


RE: GNE Bus Changes. - Tom - 08 Dec 2014

Looking forward to the changes, and I hope they will be a success.
I think the 20 and 35/36 will work really well! Not sure about the 38 though.

Not all services are designed for people to do end to end on. Its not like the angel where people will be highly likely to get on it at Durham and go to Newcastle. The main connection with these would be Chester and Sunderland with the town end farm bit for people who live round there.

You'll always get one who will do the full route, Tongue
