(28 Jan 2015, 9:12 pm)Dan Can confirm this (at least for the bus stops in Monkwearmouth). It's highly irritating, as a lot of customers are completely clueless, and it's out of GNE's control...

Still patiently waiting for the timetables to be updated... Updating the online ones would be better than updating neither...

(04 Feb 2015, 5:58 pm)Dan You'd think a major employment centre would have updated bus stop timetables, wouldn't you? Ludicrous.

(04 Feb 2015, 5:59 pm)MarcTheA4 Bit of a poor comparison I know, but I agree with how bad it is to lay things like this off following a change - it's like reducing the price by 50p in a store and after 3 months it still has the old price displayed...It's not a poor example at all. The issue is that the product has completely changed though. I'd consider Rainton Bridge to be quite a major peak time pick up/drop off location - the fact Nexus hasn't updated the timetables at the Rainton Bridge bus stops is nothing less than completely ludicrous.

Details of the contract put out last year for Nexus work.
Saw a Queensbury Shelters van on the A690 changing liners the other day.
Caused quite a bit of chaos at the eastbound stop between Stoneygate and the A19 - bearing in mind the cones which are currently standing on the roadside/grass verge. He gave up trying to park the van on the verge and force the cones out of the way with his front bumper.
If Queensbury can't keep up with the rate of changes as a result of the constant bus operator amendments, then they are potentially in breach of contract. Are Nexus aware of this?
If it isn't their fault, and Nexus aren't providing the liners - then it could be either Nexus fault or whoever organises the printing/distributing of the liners to Queensbury.
Quite a few bodies involved in the process, for anyone to assume it is the fault of one organisation - it seems quite short sighted.

Are the liners on the nexus website up to date? That would give an indication as to where the delay would lie.
Nine days post-change is very poor though.

Nexus update their own website, and compile the bus stop info.
Contractors only place it in the bus stop.
Perhaps they've had a software problem?
(05 Feb 2015, 9:41 am)JakeSavage Nexus update their own website, and compile the bus stop info.Exactly, it could be that or it could one of several reasons. It could be the fault of one of the many organisations involved in the chain.

I was wondering what commitment Queensbury have made to the Nexus contract.
If Queensbury haven't a vast number of staff allocated, based on their contract bid/value, then with the constant operator changes, the staff may not be able to cope.
There could be software issues with Nexus, there could be problems at the printers, difficulty with the printers, a breakdown in communication...
For people to apportion blame on one organisation out of the several involved - without knowing what has gone on behind the scenes, seems ludicrous.
Maybe someone needs to lodge a complaint to Queensbury or Nexus and see what comes back.
At least the operator websites are all up to date...

Delighted to see that the liners for Newcastle Road have been updated (on the website):
http://liners.nexus.org.uk/24030.pdf
Was hoping they'd have had the 20, 20A and X20 on one column and the 9 and E2 on the other, but beggars can't be choosers.
Haven't been to the bus stop today as I got the Metro to and from school, but I will have a look tomorrow to see if the printed versions have been pinned up too. Only taken them 18 days following the changes!
(12 Feb 2015, 5:20 pm)Dan Delighted to see that the liners for Newcastle Road have been updated (on the website):Well done, Nexus and associated contractors. We've got up to date timetables on Newcastle Rd - at least we will have fewer questions about where the 35 is these days from now on...

Rather troublingly, the bus stop numbers on the 'plates' at Harton Nook are still yet to be updated. (Liners have though)
I'd reckon that's one of the busier stops on the new 20/20a route.
