RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Y935 ERG - 14 Oct 2016
(14 Oct 2016, 5:46 pm)Michael It seems odd they're starting from the Winter Gardens although it could be easier for passengers who'll use them.
That's what I thought.
Anyone know where Oakerside Park is in Peterlee?

I think it's odd too considering the Arriva services leave from park lane and are more regular. I reckon they will loose a few passengers because of it myself.

I would imagine they'll still go in to Park Lane, wonder if they'll go down Holmeside then down Atheneum street then along Fredrick street then finally on to Borough road.
So they'll only enter Park Lane going towards Peterlee etc

Or the same one-way loop as services 38/238 (ie via Burdon Road, Holmeside, then Park Lane) - getting customers closer to the shops?
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Tom - 14 Oct 2016
Yeah I suppose that makes more sense. The changes are looking good though. Hopefully one of them calls into Dalton Park (new X6 probably). Provide a good link to Hartlepool, Blackhall etc.

True, would be easier... Can u share anymore details on these changes?

Nope!
Go North East has provided ample notice for service changes as of late - based on the commencement dates, I don't think we'll have to wait too long before details hit the public domain.

Hopefully not then.
Wonder what the frequancies will be of the X5/X6/X7?
Looks like each service will be hourly at the min
X5 - Sunderland, Park Lane Interchange and Hartlepool, Marina Way
X6 - Sunderland, Burdon Road, 'Winter Gardens - Hartlepool, Marina Way
X7 - Sunderland, Burdon Road 'Winter Gardens - Peterlee, Oakerside Park
I wonder if the X6/X7 will interwork at Sunderland?
Looks like all 3 services will combine so Sunderland have a service to Peterlee every 15 minutes - although the X5 will probables stay the same route as of now (X35).
Hopefully all of the routes will be under the same brand, if they do get branded.
Wonder if anymore will changes will appear on VOSA next week.... Maybe Peterlee to Boro?
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - BusLoverMum - 14 Oct 2016
I'm wondering if there's going to be changes to the TTX. I'd given up on the X7 to boro because I could never get a seat!

Well if there's two places I'd want an express bus out of...it's Sunderland and Middlesbrough

RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 15 Oct 2016
Have to remember the current X7 registration on VOSA is split:
Sunderland to Peterlee
Then
Peterlee to Middlesbough
The Peterlee to Middlesbough section might appear next week...

Unlikely if they are sending other buses to Station Town and Wingate in place of the X7. Unless they are planning on omitting Wingate and serving Billingham and Stockton together? Might provide backup for the X9/X10 if something was to go wrong.

Not sure, but if that section of the route is popular then it seems daft dropping it, the X9/X10 are busy anyway, what if it ends up where people are always left behind, maybe the X7 was a back up route for them?
Still think they should keep the X7 on that section of the route but hey, what do i know?, i don't know the passenger numbers etc
--------
If the Blaydon Racers are getting Streetlites, i wonder if the Citaro's will end up on the X5 and X6 then, so all of them are allocated Citaro's (along with the X7), offering WIFI?
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - cbma06 - 15 Oct 2016
theres no really income for GNE if most of the passengers are pensioners who board for free, cant really see another registration for the southern end of the X7 (peterlee to Middlesbrough) since the originally registration has the service split at Peterlee bus station which is a main point rather than Oakerside Park.

I hope there would be enough citarios for service X5/X6/X7 and have them as a new brand, wouldn't be surprised that this new X7 be operated by Indigo solos.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Jimmi - 15 Oct 2016
(15 Oct 2016, 11:54 am)Michael Have to remember the current X7 registration on VOSA is split:Can't see there being a second registration for the X7 considering the fact that the registration we have seen for the X7 has the service as terminating at Peterlee Oakerside Park which seems a random place for it to terminate, unless you were going to bypass Peterlee Bus Station entirely, surely you would split the service at Peterlee Bus Station rather than a random place in the Peterlee area. Considering the fact that the 202 will be extended Station Town does make me think the X7 will no longer run beyond Peterlee.
Sunderland to Peterlee

Don't ask me where Oakerside Park is as I haven't a clue but I think the 23 heads round that way, maybe?

Not sure, as we don't know the Frequency's yet, hopefully the X7 does keep the Citaro's though... what year was the X7 launched again?
