Only realised today but don't know if it happens on an evening
Gateshead Central Taxis 342 interwork with the 41A
342 leave Kingston Park to Wallsend. Changes into a 41A to Hadrian Park & Back then back as a 342 to Kingston
Seems a good idea. But do the drivers get any waiting time

I m exiled from Sunderland now living in Hartlepool. £1.80 to Victoria Rd.,£5.00 plus in in a taxi . Never trust a taxi company, hence why GCT are cowboys.

(03 Apr 2022, 9:44 pm)peter Happens on an evening and Sunday. When it runs to Westerhope it's standalone but when it only runs to Kingston Park the extra time is used to do a 41A

(03 Apr 2022, 10:33 pm)Rapidsnap Because they fare dodge on the Metro. Compared to North Shields, the amount of Beggers that are around Wallsend is ridiculous yet the council or the police refuse to do sod all about it.

I might be missing something here, but surely Stagecoach could have knocked up a service change leaflet for distribution onboard in the weeks before the change?

If folk choose not to read them then it's on them. Bus stops are Nexus' domain and if they're not updated the blame is with them, not the bus operator. In my case, Nexus changed the bus stop near to me 3 days early, and as a result the Q3 wouldn't stop as apparently no buses served it!

Even on the buses they have a poster saying the changes. Yet still people ignore it. Doesn't matter how early or how big they stick a poster. It'll still be complain about

The Stagecoach notices are terrible and have been since the Busways years.
They are usually A4 sized in one spot on a window using a size 8 font size. You literally have to stand and read it.
The only time you can do that is when you are getting on or off, and that means blocking the aisle.

(06 Apr 2022, 12:23 pm)stagecoachbusdepot And this is why it's also harsh to blame Nexus. When they do it early, the wrong info is displayed for a few days. When they do it late, the wrong info is displayed for a few days. Neither is better or worse than the other option. The only way to do it would be to work through the night on the Saturday after services finish and update over 2000 stops before services begin again on the Sunday morning. It's very rare for me to defend Nexus but on this one (both preserving as much of the network as they have after the operators put profit before people, and updating the stop within a couple of days) I think Nexus have done a decent job.

(06 Apr 2022, 1:23 pm)V514DFT I also wonder how long the 1 will last now theres Stagecoach's 317317 is a completely different route to the 1 so won't cause it any problems between North Shields and Whitley Bay
