RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 28 Oct 2016

(28 Oct 2016, 9:35 pm)Ds1197 I'm guessing solars becasue they are probably perfect size for the 9 but I do hope the 9 gets route branding now or soon

Don't think it'll get branding now, PVR is dropping from 7 to 4.

But i think the 2 Solars from Washington will move to Deptford so the 9 can have a full Solar allocation.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Ds1197 - 29 Oct 2016

Will the 9 run like this when the changes happen?
 
Sunderland-Jarrow 
Jarrow-Sunderland 
Sunderland-North Shields 
North Shields-Jarrow
Jarrow-North Shields 
North Shields-Sunderland 

Then back to the start again.

The PVR is defiantly going to be more than 4, I worked it out the other week and I'm sure it was 6

It was just a guess, you're probables right.

Hopefully not a mixed allocation...as i wonder where rest of the Scania's will come from?, the 2 from Washington seem like the only ones which which will come in as spares atm, if the 9 PVR is 6.


Deptford Solar allocations 

Service X35 - 7 PVR
X36 - 2 PVR
39 - 7 PVR


Currently leaves 6 spare - which will be took if the 9 is Solar allocated with a 6 PVR

Only other option is to:


2 from Washington as spares
2 from Riverside


The Solars seem to be allocated to the 36 a lot lately

Well in future if your just guessing can you mark your posts accordingly


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Greg in Weardale - 29 Oct 2016

Yes it looks like Ds1197 says, each vehicle does the complete cycle of workings taking six hours hence an off peak requirement of six buses.


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 29 Oct 2016

(18 Oct 2016, 9:26 pm)Michael Ah right.

If the PVR is 4, (just a guess) GNE could run Scania's on it but that only leaves 2 spare at Deptford, meaning they'll likely need 1 more from else where.

As it looks like the "Red" scania's are remaining on the 39.

Dans_bus_photos, i did say on my OP about it was a guess, if u looked back.

I'm not really sure but the timetable makes it look like it works like that


RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Cock Robin - 31 Oct 2016

(18 Oct 2016, 7:59 pm)Cock Robin GNE don't have much success with their Teesside services do they. First the OK, now the X7. Shame.

Unless they've done some sort of 'deal' with Arriva. The X7 I saw today was well loaded leaving M'bro (as were many of the OKs at the time).

The only of the GNE services I've seen consistently quiet is the X10.

I can see it having problems going around the back of Front Street in Station Town as it's a narrow uneven road and complicated by parked cars

Durham CC not happy with the 202 turning at front Street Station Town, road too narrow.
202 may may have too miss Station Town and turn at the Victoria inn Wingate.

My grandfather lived in Front Street, Station Town, and I was surprised by the suggestion of using the back lane - even for minibuses - though Google StreetView does show it without any vehicles:- Front Street back lane.

Google Maps are good at leaving streets in that have long since disappeared there are more several examples in Wingate, plays havoc with the Sat Nav

the only other way 202 was to run to  deaf hill loop and back which is suitable for buses or do run to a19 hart flyover and come back through hutton henry both problems are restricted because of time but would solve station town probelm if it urned round at wingate vic turning circle where 246 use to turn it would mean station town and bottom of wingate would lose out

Thank heavens it's not just me - I spent close on an hour searching GoogleMaps trying to make sense of the route.
I was familiar with the area around Front Street Station Town when my grandfather lived there and tried to merge my knowledge with the map - without success.

My great grandmother lived in Millbank Terrace and my great aunt (my grandmother's sister) live at 22 North Road East, Wingate.
