Otherwise they're not going to let Stagecoach tickets on as Stagecoach can't be paid to run a service then make a profit off the fares at the same time.

Speaking of the 3900s, anyone know why 716 is an 09-plate, yet 715 and 717 are 58-plates?

Looked like a few of the gas buses had already gone this morning

Where are the gas buses going?

Ye, a £1.50 increase for the Megarider, disgrace really when they're cutting the services.

6/7/39/40 changes out

Just minor timetable change

(14 Jul 2023, 7:44 pm)BusEnthusiast.com wrote I’m happy that the service for the 39/40 on a Sunday has increased to 10 mins it is going to massively increase when they come so I don’t have to wait an extremely long 20 mins.

(15 Jul 2023, 6:29 am)pbjd wrote They’re still operating every 20 minutes each, otherwise it’d mean they’d be more frequent On a Sunday then the rest of the week.

(21 Jul 2023, 5:48 pm)pbjd wrote Interesting to note service 37 Whickham View to Cramlington appearing , suspect some are schools and others timings as there’s no way the SS 10/11 will have schools put on them given they’re a contract between Low Simonside and North Shields.

(21 Jul 2023, 6:23 pm)Dan wrote This suggests that Stagecoach are also looking to replace the Arriva North East 52 service to Cramlington and 55 service to Forest Hall, as a 37 and 38A respectively.

Interesting move after Go North East had already registered the 352 - 355 services.

(21 Jul 2023, 6:35 pm)pbjd wrote Believe Forest Hall will still operate as service 38 as it previously did when the service was first introduced hence internally known as Benton, with the 38A being its current 3 trips on a morning. Will be interesting to see the fate of the current FLE trips on weekend mornings as I can’t see them being kept when Forest Hall becomes a terminus.

(22 Jul 2023, 8:22 am)F114TML wrote Not sure about the other areas, but of the Sunderland ones, only the 18 interworks with a scholars now.

One may hope the 16 change is to even out the standing time at either end of the route (14 min at one end and 1 min at the other is a bit rediculous). Not sure what the 23 one's all about as it seems fine, maybe just giving a bit more running time and taking a bit of standing time (lol, they're probably taking a bus off and tightening the arse off it)? X1 will be to do with the changes on 16 and 23 no doubt, as it now interworks with both.
