RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Keeiajs - 19 Aug 2021 If repaints haven't started I don't know how many people would like this idea however I saw some old buses on Flickr and it said "Drifter 62" so I was thinking It would be nice to see like Drifter Drifter 60 [Sunderland - Parkside] (Blue - Red Back) Streetlites Drifter 61 [Sunderland - Murton](Green - Red Back) Mercedes Drifter 62 [Peterlee - Sunderland] (Purple - Red Back) Solos Drifter 65 [Seaham-Durham] (Orange - Red Back) Versa's RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - ThomasBooth123 - 19 Aug 2021 61 will be Sunderland and district blue I think RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Keeiajs - 19 Aug 2021 (19 Aug 2021, 4:30 pm)ThomasBooth123 61 will be Sunderland and district blue I thinkYeah I know it was just as a idea. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - BusLoverMum - 19 Aug 2021 (27 Jul 2021, 6:21 pm)Storx I know what your trying to say and can't really disagree but it sounds rather expensive building bridges etc to force a hub in a place which might not work.Good luck getting a train station reinstated in Newton Hall, too. The Nimbys in that part of town have objected to having phone masts put in because whittled trees are apparently ugly, meaning that some residents are having to resort to satellite broadband. They can't even take advantage of the fibre broadband that is being introduced, here.

Sure if you told them they're house prices will go up then they'll soon change there mind but no doubt they'll go down the old, 'train station brings crime to the area,' nonsense if they tried it. Meh just miss them off if they winge, their loss tbh. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - ASX_Terranova - 23 Aug 2021 Tweak the 8 to serve Royal Hospital, St Lukes Cross & Pallion on an evening and sunday replacing 135/136 section. Would be numbered 8B. Extend the 311 to Northumberland Park via Cobalt, West Allotment & Shiremoor. Bring back the old Stanley 714 & 715. Have some of the Gateshead bound Newcastle Services terminate at Central Station rather than Market Street.

In Newcastle the Metrocentre journeys will not serve Haymaket towards Metrocentre however will serve Haymaket towards the coast road, from Newcastle buses towards Metrocentre will from St Mary's place will turn right onto barras Bridge, merge onto the A167 towards Gateshead St barras bridge, exit onto the exit for central station exit the roundabout onto the A186, turn left onto Dean Street and operate via quaysude ,Swing Bridge & The centre link serving all stops exept barras bridge. Buses will operate the same route towards Newcastle upto barras bridge in reverse serving all stops again before going straight at barras bridge into Haymaket then normal route from there. Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - cbma06 - 24 Aug 2021 (23 Aug 2021, 8:14 pm)V514DFT 61-59 There’s already a 59 in East Durham. I would leave the existing 60/61 as is as there are well known to passengers, renumbering the 204/204A to 64/64A is just going to confuse passengers that use Arriva 64 from Sherburn. I’m surprised that GNE hadn’t renumbered service 78 as a service 7, so you have the 6/7/8 out of Stanley area.

It was considered but at that point it is change for the sake of change. Best to keep things as they are if it can be helped.

Best to keep things as they are if it can be helped. You probably realise someone is going to jump in here and question some of the changes made over recent years. So I'll jump in early. At what point does a change of number (265 - > 65 = increased frequency, but same route vs 78 - > 7 = same frequency, but route amendment) become change, for the sake of change?

The ECML is at breaking point which is why the DfT have been forced to relay the once relaid Leamside line. The nature of the main line doesn't allow for quadrupling to allow a local service, so I think Newton Hall nimbys are safe! RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - L469 YVK - 24 Aug 2021 (23 Aug 2021, 8:59 pm)GNE6312 As a trial I'd suggest extending 1 run every hour on each of the Cobalt & coasts to metrocentre, these will create a bus every hour from Blyth, whitley Bay, Hadrian Park & North Shields to Metrocentre plus a bus every 15-25 minutes from battle hill & Coast road to Metrocentre.

Buses will operate the same route towards Newcastle upto barras bridge in reverse serving all stops again before going straight at barras bridge into Haymaket then normal route from there.In theory, it would be welcomed but given the sheer numbee of GNE Newcastle - MetroCentre services plus the potential traffic issues, it's far easier to change buses. With regards to the 1 now operating to Gateshead only, I'd be tempted now to extend it the other way towards Blyth (via Ridley Park) with a potential further extension to Cambois. Only trouble with a Cambois extension (if running via Cowpen etc) would be a number clash with Arriva's 1 unless GNE were willing to re-number back to 301?

I think it’s because the 65 will have a new brand and not linked to Peterlee purples, saying that the 208 is being changed to the 62/62A but kept in (Peterlee purples?), I would of thought with the new rebrand of the 8/78 that there would change the 78 into 7.
