RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Dan - 16 Jun 2019 (15 Jun 2019, 10:49 pm)JP6004Indeed, lots of elderly and East Yorkshire B7s to get rid of before Go North East are in a position to get rid of buses. The ex-London B9s are still fairly new to the fleet themselves, and have just been awarded funding from Gateshead Council to have an SCRT fitted to upgrade them to Euro 6. I wouldn't expect these to leave the fleet any time soon... Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - L469 YVK - 16 Jun 2019 So could the Ex London B9s end up doing the 6 and also other useful spare roles in the fleet such as providing extra spares for the 21 / X21 owing to the PVR increase of the X21? RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 16 Jun 2019 (16 Jun 2019, 6:09 am)Dan Indeed, lots of elderly and East Yorkshire B7s to get rid of before Go North East are in a position to get rid of buses. I'm surprised they've gone for the ex London B9's, even more so with them being duel door...... would of thought it would of been the Omnilinks... how long do they have to keep them in service, with the SCRT upgrade? RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - S813 FVK - 16 Jun 2019 (16 Jun 2019, 8:43 am)Michael I'm surprised they've gone for the ex London B9's, even more so with them being duel door...... would of thought it would of been the Omnilinks... how long do they have to keep them in service, with the SCRT upgrade? At almost 7 years old, the B9s are going to be around for a lot longer than the Omnidekkas, so seem like the better option of the two to get the upgrade. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 16 Jun 2019 (16 Jun 2019, 8:52 am)S813 FVK I wonder if this hints at the B9's getting a refurbishment soon too, with them only being 7 years old, they could add USB ports, better seats... they would upgrade a few routes, as there's 13 of them - 6149-6161.

What other buses will get this treatment, as they were rewarded for: Newcastle - £379,600 - 23 buses Gateshead - £230,750 - 13 buses - would imagine these are: 6149-6161. South Tyneside - £133,952 - 8 buses - No idea My guess: Newcastle - Quaylink Versa's, there's 23 of them - plus, the Versa's will go for a refurbishment in the next 2 years. Gateshead - 13 buses - 6149-6161. South Tyneside - £133,952 - 8 buses - No idea RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - missedbus - 17 Jun 2019 (16 Jun 2019, 9:15 am)Michael What other buses will get this treatment, as they were rewarded for: Not necessarily all Go North East buses of course, apart from the Gateshead ones.

Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - cbma06 - 18 Jun 2019 (18 Jun 2019, 6:45 pm)Michael I wonder if it’s extended from silksworth to east Herrington to replace the 36 due to customers complaining that there lost that direct route Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - deanmachine - 18 Jun 2019 (18 Jun 2019, 6:45 pm)Michael Wonder if the 33/33A will go via Doxford Park shops to East Herrington?, Hopefully it also sorts, the horrendous timetable out too, more likely to make money, if it ran every 20 minutes and then hourly to the docks, instead of... 3,13,33 and 43 minutes past the hour..., as the sheet says every 10 minutes but its not really, as the 55, provides the 53 past the hour... A councillor from East Herrington was using it as a photo op the other week after talks with GNE. "Councillor Dominic McDonough is delighted that following his recent meeting with Go North East and a spirited campaign by local residents. Go North East have announced that they will extend the number 33 bus service to help replace the 36 service that was axed in May. The service will run from the Board Inn past Oakfield Court, Allendale Road and Lakeside Village to Silksworth. Re-establishing vital links for our community." https://www.facebook.com/256301548284404/photos/a.322844114963480/430016580912899/?type=3&theater The irony being, most of the complaints I seen on the GNE facebook page were about the lost connection to New Herrington and further towards Houghton. RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 18 Jun 2019 (18 Jun 2019, 6:48 pm)cbma06 I wonder if it’s extended from silksworth to east Herrington to replace the 36 due to customers complaining that there lost that direct route Could they not extend it along Hylton Retail Park too?, because the 8 has been horrendous since the changes, always late. (18 Jun 2019, 6:49 pm)deanmachine Ah that's good for some people, but what about the others?, i'm still hearing complaints about the lost connections from New Herrington and Houghton. Luckily, atm my area is all Stagecoach and we haven't seen many major changes for a while... "Fingers crossed" Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - cbma06 - 18 Jun 2019 Looks like this extension to east Herrington will only run between 09:30 and 14:30 only Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Andreos1 - 18 Jun 2019 (18 Jun 2019, 6:49 pm)deanmachine Bridget has been having her say about public transport in the constituency too. Although rail seems to be her focus this time, rather than bus RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes v2 - Michael - 18 Jun 2019 (18 Jun 2019, 7:03 pm)Andreos1 Its literally all she goes on about, she needs to change the record like. |
