RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Just seen changes for Coast Road on Traveline. Only noticable things, timetable changes for reliability, 308 has extra running time on Sundays meaning a new bus & driver out of Blyth (similar to GNE's old 10/X21 boards), and after 11pm, departures every 20 minutes from Haymarket (307 - 05, 308 - 25, 309 - 45) instead of 00, 15, 45

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva have registered 2 new services. This being the 415 and 460. 415 runs between Morpeth & Alnwick via Felton & Swarland with the 460 running between Alnwick to Ellingham via Denwick & Rennington & Rock

At least these places are being linked properly. Now it's just a wait for the timetable. Oh and what will buses will be used on this route (If anyone knows) |

Withdrew them. Now money is offered they reinstate them. Bus companies that do should be excluded from applying to tender them. |

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Ignoring it's bolted onto the end of the 777 currently, but is there any reason why this 415 couldn't have been bolted onto the end of the X16, having more buses between Newcastle and Alnwick not around the world on the Coast can only been seen as a positive imo even known it's slightly longer. It seems pretty direct this 415.

It seems pretty direct this 415. I think these are going to be extremely infrequent services (like once or twice a week), so probably not worth it. |

I thought it was a while ago, certainly in my head it was pre-2010 "Big Change" (or whatever it was called) as I couldn't remember them being mentioned in that or in anything since. (26 Feb 2024, 8:25 pm)Coastliner700 wrote The were devised in late 90s usually using Alnwick based metroriders on some days. The 515 also operated this route on some journeys too. I'm not sure in this case then how the company are now bad for taking on a Saturday only service to serve the villages again after all these years? As above from Robin Hood, the services were subsidised even back then so surely it would be the council at fault for pulling the funding rather than Arriva? Generally I'd be of a similar opinion in that it's always interesting when operators throw in the towel on a commerical service and then immediately win the tender for it, but this seems to be an entirely different kettle of fish. |

Oh and what will buses will be used on this route (If anyone knows) The 460 actually still operates with NEED (North East Equality & Diversity), one trip from Ellingham to Alnwick and back on Thursdays. Last I was aware that Swarland & Newton on the Moor had a bus service was when PCL Travel operated an 'A1' service between Alnwick & Longframlington, initially consisting of two off peak round trips in gaps between the Wooler contracted Services 470/473 they operated at the time but was later cut to one trip each way running on/off the M1 that was pretty much just the X14 route between Morpeth and Thropton running in hours the X14 didn't - think it stopped running late 2018/early 2019. Pic of a PCL Versa departing Alnwick for Longframlington: https://flic.kr/p/Yge1Pc An LDV Convoy van I rode from Longframlington to Alnwick back in 2018: https://flic.kr/p/25poJNt |

It seems pretty direct this 415. The 415 and 460 are Saturday-only services - and due to the nature of the roads, will be allocated Solos. |

No doubt everyone else, will be rat running along there regardless. |
