RE: NEbus Launch
If it’s anything like Greater Manchester’s ‘onebus’ it’ll be a whole lot of nothing.

RE: NEbus Launch
Not too sure on the name mind. Plenty of villages around Durham already have 'NEBus' on a Sunday or Bank Holiday.

Yup, the whole thing was setup to allow you to use the 73 at no additional expense... In all seriousness, I think it's a wait and see. I'd imagine there'll be a lot to work through, before we see any concrete proposals.

Given it's not been launched yet maybe we ought to wait for the launch on Wednesday to see what they tell us...?

Why are you going, besides the slime and giant deckchair? Any idea what the giveaways could be? I will probably go to have a look at the buses, even though I see and use buses regularly anyway. The representatives might have something interesting to say, and I might get to sit in a driver's cab! I decided not to go to Seaburn today for the NEBPT rally mainly due to having nobody to go with. I like to see the pictures though and I enjoyed the Whitley Bay Rally last month. I am impressed with the repainted Go Ahead Northern Leyland Olympian. |

(26 Aug 2019, 5:55 pm)OrangeArrow49 wrote I couldn't get there in the end. Although, I was at a meeting not a hundred miles from the Centre for Life, I couldn't wangle a visit. I would have gone along purely from a political point of view. In addition to the slime and giant deck chair. Couldn't give two hoots about modern vehicles, but I would have been interested from a non-gricing perspective. (26 Aug 2019, 7:17 pm)Adrian wrote Now if they said there was slime, a giant deckchair AND Mr Bobby - then I would have made all the excuses in the world to get out of my meeting!

Oh, and we were given a booklet that I'd already seen online. 6333 looked nice though, same couldn't be said for the X21 E400 Arriva brought along, that's certainly seen better days! The free pens were alright though! |

RE: NEbus Launch
Following the launch, the full document is online here: https://nebuscouk.files.wordpress.com/20...ressed.pdf
The bulk of it is what you'd expect, with the usual corporate 'annual report' style waffle, but page 29-31 contains commitments and requirements. I did find this claim interesting on two points: - Trying to compare a weekly ticket in London to a Newcastle SmartZone ticket... but given the vast majority of people work 5 days a week, it would still be cheaper to use two hopper singles a day at £1.50 a piece. - Having a bit of a pop at the old subsidy argument, despite listing the economic benefits that bus travel delivers, elsewhere in the document!
