RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - V514DFT - 14 Jun 2021
(14 Jun 2021, 3:47 pm)Michael Changes to the Durham's Cathedral Bus from the 21st June 2021.Yeah,the route number is still the same
https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/services/GNE/40BD?date=2021-06-21&direction=inbound
Looks like both services are returning - but I can't even remember what they were before the pandemic.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - L469 YVK - 27 Jun 2021
Any idea of what changes are happening to the 309/310/311? Will frequencies remain the same?
If so, will PVR return to pre March 2020 (16x) and one of the following interworking patterns?
- 310-311-309-310
Or
- 309-311-309 with 310 standalone
Loadings look fairly healthy given the current climate to be fair from when I've seen them out and about

I recall 2 years ago when I started working on the Cobalt the 309 was every 15 minutes then dropped to every 20 minutes then to every 30 minutes when the 311 was introduced.
I would personally like to see more peak time X39 journeys beyond 5pm with extra services running at 17:40/18:10/18:40 into Newcastle or alternatively have X39/309 merge making a full-time xpress between Blyth, Whitley, Cobalt & Newcastle with 311 extending from Hadrian Park up to the Cobalt covering local links lost from the 309.
You'd then have 310/311 Every 15 Minutes and the X39 Every 30 Minutes Monday to Saturday with the 311 extended from Cobalt to Blyth on a Sunday operating Every 30 Minutes with the 310 still operating Every 30 Minutes on a Sunday.

Sage are doing hybrid working so I can't see demand increasing massively - just spread out across different days.
Santander have closed their office and moved to home working, Newcastle Building Society are going hybrid working as are a few others across there.

I see GCT have been stripped of a lot of their contracts with majority operations coming back to GNE

With the emergency Nexus contract changes commencing this evening, Washington local services 85/86 were ran by Deptford with 673/675. The 81-84 were continued by Washington depot into the evening using their Little Pinks branded Solos.

Excellent
If S&D is already spreading out to Concord why not knock Cityrider on the head and have S&D Fatso’s sandwich orange and maybe swap out Drifter for S&D Greggs sausage roll blue?
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - DH9 - 30 Jun 2021
Think new Hexham times are on either jplanner or traveline.
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 30 Jun 2021
(30 Jun 2021, 6:55 pm)DH9 Think new Hexham times are on either jplanner or traveline.
It does, according to Traveline,
Monday to Friday: X85 will run later in the evening too, as the last bus from Hexham to Newcastle is 22:35pm and 23:55pm from Newcastle to Hexham.
Saturday: The first bus from Hexham is 7:34am, first bus from Newcastle is 9am and last bus is 23:25pm from Newcastle.
Sunday, the X85 will start at 9:16am from Hexham to Newcastle, and 10:05am towards Hexham, with the last bus on the X85 is 18:05pm towards Newcastle - hourly throughout the day.
Edit:
I tried the other services but couldn't figure them out

So the X85 will run on evenings and Sundays now? What about the X84? Any changes for Tynedale Links?
RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - L469 YVK - 30 Jun 2021
Looks like 309/310/311 PVR is going back to 16x

Yeah I must admit this livery does look very smart. The dark grey and red go together very well.
I know someone mentioned that Deptford are running the 85/6 Washington evening contracts on an emergency contract. Does anyone know if this contract is a permanent change or just temparary?
Thanks
