RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - northern156 - 19 Apr 2017
(19 Apr 2017, 9:03 pm)BJ10VUS I suppose with brands like "Angel", "Quaylink" and "Castles Express" being based around landmarks and places, maybe the 49 could be the "Dunston Rocket"?
Tynedale Express X84 could have something to do with Wylam, being the birthplace of George Stephenson? Indeed the museum is signposted from the main bus stop!
Yet another reason to split up the brand from the X85 and X84. The latter of which isn't much of an express outside of Heddon.

The Chronicle has played a blinder again - 'warning' passengers that the May changes take effect on Friday....

(19 Apr 2017, 10:29 pm)northern156 Tynedale Express X84 could have something to do with Wylam, being the birthplace of George Stephenson? Indeed the museum is signposted from the main bus stop!X84 and X85 alternate throughout the day - necessary to maintain hourly timing (X85 route takes 45 minutes, X84 60 minutes).
Yet another reason to split up the brand from the X85 and X84. The latter of which isn't much of an express outside of Heddon.
The X84 evolved from the 684 which ran through Anick and then Horsley.
Correction:- 687 to Horsley; 684 to Ovington and Newcastle;
687 now runs only to Corbridge.
The X85 was introduced to compete with the (then unreliable) Arriva 685 - breakdowns and cancellations were frequent due to old coach stock.
To be fair to Arriva their 685 runs to and from Carlisle, so there is more possibility for delays on the single carriageway A69 west of Hexham.

I wonder if the half hourly service is going ahead for a evening and Sunday?
Stagecoach - Sunderland to South Hylton
Go North East - South Hylton to Docks
As i thought Stagecoach decided to run it commercially between Sunderland and South Hylton but now that new 8 has appeared however Go North East did win the contract but this was sent to VOSA on the 13th April.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - S813 FVK - 24 Apr 2017
Can somebody actually confirm whether or not service 704 will be running after the 21st May? The VOSA registration says it has been cancelled, the new 30 timetable doesn't have any times for the 704 on it yet the GNE website says that it will now depart Stanley at 41 minutes past the hour.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - S813 FVK - 01 May 2017
Closure of Humber Hill from tomorrow (02/05) for 5 days due to resurfacing works. Service V7 will be diverted but no news of this on the Go North East website - the stop on Wear Road heading back up to Stanley will be missed with passengers either walking down to Avon Road for the 16 or just walking into Stanley.

I guess they've got to be seen doing work regardless of size.

But naive, commercial companies make decisions for the benefit of commercial gain, not customers.

I agree, for example, the 07:26 Q3 from Great Park Sage has been getting busier recently, it used to arrive at Regent Centre at 07:41, then 07:40 and now 07:38. Yesterday it arrived at 07:46, this is common!

From Monday 15 to Friday 19 May, service X25 will be diverted between Wrekenton and Portobello due to a closure at Eighton Banks.
The service will divert via Long Bank, A1 on-slip, A1, A1 off-slip and Mill House roundabout, with Newcastle bound services diverting from Portobello onto A1, Eighton Lodge roundabout and Long Bank to Wrekenton.
A Shuttle Bus will run between Wrekenton Bus Link and Mill House Roundabout connecting with the diverted X25 service.
