(16 Feb 2017, 9:26 am)Mark1 Has anyone tried the new Live Travel map on the Nexus website. Its a big improvement on its predecessor with the inclusion of real time departures on most services. However in classic Nexus style they make it unnecessarily difficult with for instance the terminus of GNE services 5 and 88 is East Street instead of the more simple South Shields Town Centre/ASDA.

Its an improvement hopefully real time Metro information will be made available soon
 
I like it and the bonus is, you can screenshot times - so you don't have to struggle loading the app in areas of poor reception or check again when you get to the stop.
Get what you mean about the terminus points. 
I think they need to develop that somehow.

Not sure where to put this so, if it's in the wrong area, please move it.


Bus lane cameras make £31m in a year for councils

The most lucrative bus lane in England is on the northbound section of John Dobson Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

hahahaha, well no the wonder, the roads in Newcastle are horrendous, most are one way!

What does everyone think of the new Nexus site?
https://www.nexus.org.uk/

It doesn't really affect me that much, I don't need to use it on a regular basis with not living in Tyne & Wear. Navigation doesn't appear to be any different, tad slower than what I remember though.

Shame they couldn't be bothered to update the bus station section maps, when they updated the site, but it does look a lot better.

Nexus are advertising security in Sunderland Interchange, on some bus stops they have a dedicated mobile number you can ring if you see anything suspicious.

Most likely, however whenever I'm in Park Lane the security just seem to sit at a bus stop and go on their phones and chat. I am sure Nexus got the security to ensure gangs would not hang around the interchange causing trouble.

They'd run away from gangs quicker than you could blink.

Nexus are running a consultation proposing the withdrawal of the 59 / 359 services.If the proposal is agreed the GCT vehicle currently used on the 59 /359 will be redeployed to a new service.

What changes are we proposing?
The peak service 59 almost entirely duplicates Arriva’s service 54, with our bus in some cases operating just a few minutes in front of the commercial service. This effectively means that we are using public subsidy to replicate links already being provided by a private operator. This is not good use of public funds and it also undermines the commercial viability of the 54 which could place greater pressure on our limited funding, longer term. We therefore propose that the 59 service is withdrawn and passengers would be advised to use the Arriva service instead.
The off-peak 359 service was introduced to provide improved connections to North Tyneside Hospital, in particular from West Allotment and Marden Estate. Our data indicates that an average of just 2 passengers per day board the service in West Allotment (with the majority of these trips to Northumberland Park Metro) and an average of just 5 passengers per day use the service from Marden Estate (with the vast majority of these trips to/from the Morrison’s store at Preston Grange). Like the 59, the 359 route also has a considerable amount of overlap with the Arriva service 54. We therefore propose that the 359 service is withdrawn.
The bus currently used on the 59/359 would then instead be used to provide an extension to the current 51A service (Newcastle – Coast Road – Holystone Park). The new extension would operate between Holystone Park and Whitley Bay Metro via Northumberland Park Interchange, Heritage Green, Backworth North, Castle Park, Backworth Village, Earsdon Village, West Monkseaton Sainsbury’s, West Monkseaton, Monkseaton and Whitley Bay Town Centre. The service would operate hourly Monday - Saturday, between 7.30am – 7.00pm.
The proposed withdrawal of the 59/359 and introduction of new extension to service 51A would leave Murton Village without access to any bus service. We therefore propose that the W3 would be revised to additionally serve Murton Village Monday - Saturday (9.30am – 3.00pm).

When they're on, I am sure they could work on improving the W services in Whitley Bay and 333.

I would argue there's a bit of duplication within the W services and could look to improve revenues/margins (footfall) at the same time. 

W2 and W3 to merge (along with western elements of W1), with some slight variations to routes. 

W1 and 333 to merge (using the northern section of Broadway as the link) and 333 to serve Front Street in Tynemouth, before going back to its normal route, passing Linskill. 
On the Fish Quay, it will serve the ferry in both directions and omit Brewhouse Bank.
