"One of our 'Go North East insiders' may be able to confirm, but I'd guess that the timetables are designed by an external company, along with the 'paper buses' which appear on said timetables and the website. If things are still unconfirmed, Go North East won't have sent the final details to the external company yet and hence the timetables haven't been designed. That, or they could still be waiting for them to return..."

The timetables won't be updated to the current format until everything has been confirmed (brand names, livery designs, etc) so as to avoid the cost of paying for an external company to re-make the timetables.

(08 Jan 2015, 3:15 pm)Michael wrote I think Dan said they might move to Deptford but iv'e just added up the day time PVR from 25.1.15 for Sunderland... and it came up at 109 buses will required (not including schoolars or work buses and probables of worked it out wrong, someone should check ) 

(08 Jan 2015, 3:51 pm)Tom wrote I'd imagine the Cadets will go to Deptford for say the 38.
Then, two of the newer B10BLE's can move to Chester to replace two of the Lime's, and a B7TL could replace another one.
I don't think any Vykings would move away though.

(08 Jan 2015, 5:56 pm)Robert wrote Doubt it, a cadet replacing a B10 (losing a few seats). I say 'cadet' instead of 'cadets' because one could go into a spare role bringing the last W90- RBB renown out of that role and onto the Lime services.

(08 Jan 2015, 7:27 pm)Robert wrote The whole point of 6084 transferring (if it does) would be to provide a spare for both the TTX and TEN services. If it was to replace 3942, it would become part of the TENs PVR and you would still get a TEN branded vehicle appearing on the wrong route.

(08 Jan 2015, 7:32 pm)Kuyoyo wrote The whole idea is 6084 becomes part of the TEN PVR so 3942 moves back into its originally intended role as Hexham's spare. Plus, because 6084 is tachograph-fitted, it also becomes the main back-up to 6043-8 instead of the TEN losing 6071.

(13 Jan 2015, 4:43 pm)cbma06 wrote I was at Sunderland interchange today and picked up the changes leaflet for the 35/35a and also a changes leaflet for 29/29a, also the changes leaflet was on the 35 buses and 29 buses today.

(13 Jan 2015, 4:44 pm)Michael wrote They just had the 35/35A ones when i went in this was around 3:30pm, hopefully the timetables will be available in the shop soon.
 

It looks like GNE have updated their tabs to for each branded service with changes - Silver Arrows - http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/silver-arrows/ 

(13 Jan 2015, 5:09 pm)cbma06 wrote not many days left before the bus changes commence, the new timetables most of been printed by now, would of thought their website would have the new format timetables, to get these printed timetables out to travel shops etc....

(13 Jan 2015, 7:21 pm)cbma06 wrote I was just going to ask that lol, I would email GNE and Nexus for clarification on the route in Birtley.

When Arriva changes the services in Peterlee, I always ask clarification of route description from Arriva North East and the transport section at Durham County Council. usually take a bit longer to get a reply back from Arriva than DCC, usually get a response back from DCC the same day with the answers. Then I usualy copy and paste the responces on this forum.

• From 1 February 2015, 82 & 83 services will be revised to offer new connections following discussions with customers about their travel patterns.  Your revised routes will be numbered 82, 82A & 982 and we’ll now be serving Birtley Northside as well as Meresyde and Grange Crescent in Leam Lane Estate to provide new connections. A summary of each route is provided below.
  
  
• Service 82 – Buses will run from Birtley Northside to Heworth via Birtley Centre, Portmeads, Portobello, Barley Mow, Ayton, Lambton, Washington Galleries, Biddick, Barmston Centre, Spout Lane, Concord, Usworth, Lingey Lane & Leam Lane Estate.  In the opposite direction, buses will run from Heworth Interchange to Rickleton via Leam Lane Estate, Lingey Lane, Usworth, Concord, Spout Lane, Barmston Centre, Biddick, Washington Galleries, Lambton, Ayton & Vigo Lane.
  
  
• Buses will run every 30 minutes in each direction on Monday to Saturday daytimes, providing a service every 15 minutes on the combined section of the route with the 82A between Ayton, Lambton, Galleries, Barmston and Concord.
   
  
• The evening journeys between Heworth Interchange and Concord will no longer run, but will be replaced with an improved frequency on Connections 4, which will now run every 20 minutes between Heworth Interchange and Fatfield via Lingey Lane, Usworth, Concord and Galleries.  The evening services between Concord and Birtley that are provided by Arriva will remain unchanged.
  
  
• On Sundays, buses will run every 30 minutes during the day from Birtley Station Lane to Concord.
  
  
• Service 83 – will be replaced by service 82A. Buses will run from Rickleton to Concord via Harraton, Wear Industrial Estate, Ayton, Lambton, Washington Galleries, Biddick, Barmston Waskerley Road & Hertburn Industrial Estate.  In the opposite direction, buses will run from Concord to Birtley Northside via Hertburn Industrial Estate, Barmston Waskerley Road, Biddick, Washington Galleries, Lambton, Ayton, Barley Mow, Portobello, Portmeads and Birtley Centre.
  
  
• Buses will run every 30 minutes in each direction on Monday to Saturday daytimes, providing a service every 15 minutes on the combined section of the route with the 82A between Ayton, Lambton, Galleries, Barmston and Concord.  The route won’t serve the section between Concord and Heworth due to low passenger numbers, with customers for Stephenson Industrial Estate being able to use the 982 service (see below) and customers from Sulgrave being able to use the Whey Aye 50 for journeys to Washington or the Fab 56 for journeys to Gateshead or Newcastle.
  
  
• On Sundays, buses will run every 30 minutes during the day from Concord to Birtley Station Lane.
  
  
• Service 982 – Buses will run at peak times between Concord Bus Station and Stephenson Industrial Estate to maintain connections for commuters.
