Unless, of course, it is a fantastic photoshop. RE: Spirit Buses - Dan - 09 Nov 2015 (09 Nov 2015, 7:09 am)S813 FVK So they must have had the buses in that state for quite a while then? The photograph of 201 was probably taken last year, as they branded up both Darts for Children in Need last year too. RE: Spirit Buses - Rapidsnap - 10 Nov 2015 I did ask the owner what would happen if he had a vehicle issue, but reassurred me many of the neighbouring operators like Rothbury Motors and Glen Valley would happily assist him if he needs a vehicle. Though he says the Enviro 200 has been very reliable for him.

RE: Spirit Buses - South Tyne Lad - 09 Sep 2016 Its highlighted in the post that the New Arriva timetable in the new contract will not connect with Spirits Services. Could this be a small hint at the service past Morpeth being dropped to 2 Hourly? It will be a significant blow if that happens ontop of a bad outcome of the Spirit dilemma. Such a shame though, I have nothing but respect for the effort that Steve has done for bringing back services in such a remote area. RE: Spirit Buses - Tom - 09 Sep 2016 (09 Sep 2016, 8:33 pm)South Tyne Lad Its highlighted in the post that the New Arriva timetable in the new contract will not connect with Spirits Services. Judging by this I don't even think it will be operating on all days Monday to Saturday... I'm guessing thats what it means by an alternate weekday/Saturday service? ''Timetable Changes to Arriva X14 Service on 25/09/16: Due to Arriva North East / Northumberland County Council contracted route X14 altering its timetable to a less frequent and alternate weekday / Saturday service, we will unfortunately NOT be able to make ANY connections with this service from Newcastle and Morpeth after 25/09/16. Regrettably to our visitors and residents who utilise this link we cannot currently alter our timetable to suit. Once a finalised and published timetable emerges we will look into further options. We sincerely apologise to all who use this link but the situation is outwit our control. It took us months to create connections both in Rothbury and Alnwick with onward services - something we believe in and our customers appreciate greatly.'' Hopefully the services will continue as it will be a real shame if not. |
