Looking on the gov website:
It seems like GNE will be running the 82 between QE Hospital and Waterview Park and 79 from Hall Lane Estate and Barnwell

(20 Apr 2023, 3:15 pm)Adrian I notice "Journeys will track in real-time on our mobile app and buses will have ‘next stop’ audio-visual announcements." under the 82 heading, presumably trying to point out something not present on the JH/GCT offering of the 82/82A.
Have the "'next stop' audio-visual announcements" been reinstated on the other Washington 8x services? I don't think I've seen them active since the service changes 9 months ago.

Journeys will only run as far as QE Hospital, no longer serving Gateshead Interchange. Customers travelling to Gateshead can change buses at Wrekenton, onto Cityrider service 56 and X-lines service X1.
does the 2528/51/52 no longer stop at wrekenton??
Why not advise to change at QE and add the 57 to buses you can catch or is this bus service been ditched?

I wish they'd just work with GNE and run the 81 all day between Waterview Park and Newcastle via the 81 route extended to Newcastle and scrap the rest.
It would make it a hell of a lot easier for people.
There's the 28 for people who want to go from Birtley to the QE and others can change at Wrekenton.
If the minibuses become full, then that's a sign of success and just up the frequency where the problems are... Be nice to try and actually build a route for once.

(20 Apr 2023, 7:52 pm)Malarkey I agree with this, the revised 82 is Go North East literally setting it up to turn around to Nexus and say it's not commercially viable down the line to operate with cutting it from Q.E. Hospital to Gateshead, actually quite a few do use the 82 to/from Gateshead more so to Birtley if the 21 has been late and wouldn't you if you still only paying £2 Single, I do think if Go North East kept the existing route as it is then with there fare options it could boost passenger numbers in a positive manner.The new 82 is a Nexus tender on the back of what they proposed under their earlier consultation. It would have been exactly the same 82 if another operator had won the tender instead.
One thing GNE and Nexus do need to sort is the evening/sunday timings of the 28B/81 as they operate within a few mins of each other going into Gateshead from Chowdene Bank onwards, have often seen both together.
