(18 Sep 2015, 6:11 pm)Dan wrote There have been problems with the VOSA website for the past few days; whilst there have been registrations posted on the website by VOSA, it's only showing them periodically (it's showing no registrations having been posted at all more regularly). I've had a look, and it's not playing ball again tonight.

By what I can recall, registrations were made for service 6 (Newcastle - Stanley), services 12/12A (Newcastle - Winlaton) and 30 (Stanley - Lanchester), as well as several amendments.

(18 Sep 2015, 6:20 pm)Michael wrote Wrong thread Tom! 

Seems like decent changes.

(18 Sep 2015, 6:18 pm)S813 FVK wrote Sure does. Michael, the services look like they aren't being merged together Would have to not include the 130 in that idea too since it would need to double back on itself.

(18 Sep 2015, 6:28 pm)Tom wrote Also looks like the X30 will be operating on Sundays now.

(17 Sep 2015, 9:58 pm)G-CPTN wrote West of Hexham (currently served by ANE shared with SNE) has long been a bone of contention.
Services frequently were late or failed completely.
The residents of Haydon Bridge are poorly served by trains, being two-hourly unless they travel first to Haltwhistle then back through Haydon Bridge, so they rely on the bus for a regular hourly service.
Delays from Carlisle along the A69 are understandable given the nature of the road not being dual carriageway (although recent changes to speed limits for trucks from 40mph to 60mph have eased the situation), and the route meanders from the A69 to pass through settlements that are by-passed, adding delays when rejoining the main A69 due to nose-to-tail traffic. 

Arriva (and Stagecoach) have updated their vehicle stock so breakdowns have reduced, though having to service replacements from Carlisle or Jesmond (the Hexham depot is now run by GNE) means lengthy delays whenever a breakdown occurs 'midway'.
GNE revamped their Tynedale Express to alternate X84 and X85 such that X85 journey times are faster to and from Hexham than ANE/SNE's 685/85 services as well as being in direct competition on the Newcastle/Hexham section.
Extending the X85 westwards towards Carlisle would offer a 'better' model (with a Hexham base for replacements if necessary).


If GNE were to compete they would, at least initially offer Haydon Bridge passengers two buses per hour. 
Of course ANE/SNE might abandon the through route . . .
County Councillors have long lobbied for bus (and train) routes to include Gilsland on a regular basis, something that the 185 goes somewhat towards solving. That GNE have taken over 185 from Telfords might indicate their intentions.
Extending the routes westward from Hexham's soon to be new bus station would eliminate criticism that buses won't serve the centre of Hexham, so there is much to be gained if GNE are so minded.
