Metro Two Weeks Closer St James/Tynemouth
Metro Two Weeks Closer St James/Tynemouth
The two week closed line between St James & Tynemouth will not have a single metro replacement running. All tickets and passes will be accepted on all buses that call close to the station. This being routes
Arriva 306
Go North East 1,19,310
Stagecoach 12,22,39,40,62,63,317
GNE service 1 is the only bus to follow and call near all the stations with the 317 in second.
With no Metro Replacement for two weeks. Does this mean that these services will be upgraded to decekrs for the two week period while the line is closed

(26 Jun 2022, 1:45 am)Dan Who on earth could resource a Metro Replacement during the first week when the schools are still on?Well, yourselves, JH & Stanley Travel managed it during the rewiring shutdown
The operators in the framework agreement are Go North East and Stagecoach (who have driver resource issues, even if they could stump up the vehicles) and JH Coaches (who don’t have enough spare vehicles to run a Metro Replacement service while the schools are still on).
It would suggest that someone has made a mistake when planning the project dates, and as such customers are left without a formal replacement service - although to be honest the ticket acceptance agreement probably works out better for most customers.

(26 Jun 2022, 1:45 am)Dan Who on earth could resource a Metro Replacement during the first week when the schools are still on?Well I can expect certain bus service to be full. Are we expect the 1 to stay single deck the entire 2 weeks as that's the only service to call at all stations or be put to double deckers

Doesn't fit into the usual 90x or X90x number series...a commercial market plugger, perhaps?!
(06 Jul 2022, 10:46 am)Aaron21 Bit of a good yet pointless idea
The M1 is to be ran by Henry Cooper
One trip during the day. At 5.33am from Tynemouth

I've got no hope the gne 1 will be decekr allocated for the 2 weeks. They can't even allocate decekrs to the 1 for a festival in Tynemouth or even provide a decekr for a P&R there doing. At least arriva did well and have had decekrs on the 306 all day. This 2 week closer is gonna be a killer. Yes there ain't a metro replacement for the reasons of no one can provide one. But why not get service upgrade to decekrs to help with capacity numbers. Especially the 1 being the only route to serve near all stations
