We are experiencing severe delays across our network. We are currently working to resolve this to limit the inconvenience to you.

Will this be to do with the extra traffic with it being Easter Monday? Or some other cause?

Probs due to it being nice and a bank holiday, oh and Sunday service.


28 and 78A is currently suffering delays due to heavy traffic around Beamish... 28 also not serving the main entrance.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Definitely.

Where do I start...

Arriva running between 20-40 mins late in both directions, Gypsies and there horses at Easington, the already late 22 got held up by at least 30 horses at Easington Colliery...

The old lady who kept asking me at Dalton Park about her bus to Peterlee, I have the Arriva App on my phone, so I was able to waste me battery telling her...My 61 was 40 minutes late.

To top it off the Air Con on 5322 was not working, if you want to shed a few pound in a sauna get on 5322 on a hot day...I am absolutely lathered, lol

On Sundays and Bank Holidays we have two buses from Corbridge to Hexham - these are ten minutes apart and they return 'immediately'.
Normally I can get the (earlier) GNE TEN with enough time to grab milk from Fore Street then catch the Arriva '85' back, but, today, the 'two o'clock' TEN was running ten minutes late with the Arriva 85 immediately behind it (which then overtook the TEN).

Net result was that I missed the 85 from Hexham and had to wait an hour for the TEN.

Frequently I manage to get the timing right, but today GNE scuppered me.

This is not a complaint, as no doubt the traffic from Newcastle through the Metrocentre, Blaydon and Prudhoe was what caused the lateness.

What does 'annoy' me, though, is the timing of the only two buses that run on Sundays and BHs means that if you miss one then chances are you miss both.

I did, however 'catch' the AD122:-

Trouble is the demand is unpredictable. If it had been raining today then you would have seen no problems. To be fair Seaburn is a bit of a nightmare with the current redevelopment that is going on, you cant get two vehicles passed each other at the Marriot Hotel and you need traffic to stop in both directions to turn out of Dyklands Road.

Stagecoach is providing 11 buses an hour between Sunderland and Seaburn with today's Sunday service.

E1 for example, just under 11 route miles and 42 minute trip time, standard scheduling at around 16mph and a driver has no chance of keeping to time.

With exception of Xmas Day, New Years Day and Easter Sunday, I'd argue that the volumes wanting to travel on a bank holiday do not differ much from a Saturday. You might get a lot more wanting to travel to the coast on a nice day like today, but to be fair, you're going to get that on any other day too. Rain wouldn't have stopped people wanting to travel to city centres, to the Metrocentre, and anywhere else they can have a day out. 

The last few bank holidays that I've travelled out on have been chaos. Not for traffic levels and congestion, but simply for the amount of people wanting to travel on the same bus, because the frequency doesn't meet the demand. That's the same across Tyne and Wear. Not just one operator.

Can't really just say it's Arriva though:
- 309 / 310 running badly late
- 45 or 46 at Metro Centre before had a busfull

You might be surprised how bus drivers love a cold wet day, outside of the peaks passenger numbers drop by about 30%. This big drop is usually in ENCTS holders, the majority of which is not necessary travel.  

The trouble with day out travelers on Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays is its tidal flow so you take a full bus one way and bring nothing back until later in the day. Through my experience that's why the vast amount of services that have been tried over the years to the likes of the MetroCentre have failed. Now you could say the likes of GNE or Stagecoach are missing a trick there, run something from say Cleveland and instead of it sitting in the coach park all day or taking fresh air back then back to take your passengers home it could be used on extra services on the X66 or 100, unfortunately we have allowed to many into the industry that have no flare or dedication with having no experience of how anything can run.

My wife and I decided the dog needed a Bank Holiday too so we caught the Metro to Whitley Bay today and it was exactly as Citaro 5284 said, bumper to bumper. We caught a 1 back to Gateshead and our poor driver, having been decent enough to stop for a running woman with buggy and one other small monster berated him for being 15 mins early! The driver explained that he was actually running very late but our lovely mother type didn't bother to thank him for stopping or being in the wrong. Oh, the joys of being a driver!

Blaydon Racer should run Saturday times, but 49B replaced by 49C.

Loop 93/94 need Saturday running times per trip (but keep 30 min service)

There were 40+ passengers from Hexham on the 15:23 TEN today.

There were also at least 20 waiting at Hexham for the 15:27 Arriva 85 to arrive.
