RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - V514DFT - 20 Jun 2021
What about sending the 49's to Newcastle?
RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Adtrainsam - 20 Jun 2021
(20 Jun 2021, 8:18 pm)V514DFT What about sending the 49's to Newcastle?Personally, I don’t see any point in that as there are already plenty of buses trundling across the Tyne Bridge from Gateshead. Most passengers could easily change at the Metrocentre or Gateshead. It would probably increase the PVR as well.

Has any bus service ever used this route or anywhere close by.
RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - R838PRG - 22 Jun 2021
(22 Jun 2021, 1:58 pm)ASX_Terranova Has any bus service ever used this route or anywhere close by.No as the routing between Sacriston and Burnhope would not be suitable for buses.

Not sure what would be the point in that route. Whilst being largely unsuitable due to narrow country lanes, there's also a complete lack of bus stops - or places on those roads to serve, for that matter! You'd be lucky if you picked up a single passenger between Washington and Hexham.
The most logical routing for such a service, if there was ever such demand, would be via the Metrocentre, Blaydon, etc. I somehow don't think there'd be much demand... if any...

Is there anyway for the 29 to be merged with another service

They merged it with the Nexus 23 and extended to Birtley and onwards to Washington.

I can't remember the 29 ever going any further south than Kibblesworth.Can't remember the exact time but it was just after Deptfrod lost the yellow branded mpd off 26 (can't remember what the branding was on the yellow one as I blue one was magic roundabout) and before Nexus properly introduced the B branding for Nexus Bus. As there was a B placed across the yellow MPD. I'm sure SoloSR 625 arrived at Gateshead not long after with rhe NExusBus branding and that is 11 reg so epuldnhave been around 2010 I'd imagine.

The ex Black Cats MPD's were used and operated from Deptford on services 23 & 29.

Genuinely can't remember that at all.
Mustn't have lasted too long.
RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - ASX_Terranova - 27 Jun 2021
This is more of brand suggestion but i would brand the 49/49A either the West Gateshead Wanderer or the Dunston Dynamo.
I would also brand the 5 & 50, New 55 as Sea & City, paint the buses teal & pink. I would also renumber the H2 to 55 (the old 55 becoming the 36), with the new service going, Washington Galleries, Monkton Lane, Hebburn, Jarrow, Tyne Dock, Hospital, Harton Nook, Horsley Hill, Westoe, South Shields every 30 Mins.

No just back the old 526 and extend from monkton Lane to washington and from horsley hill to south shields.

The Dunston Dynamo sounds like an NBA team.
Which City does the 55 proposal serve?
