Now that Go Ahead are expanding into "Lancashire"/ "Yorkshire" (with the purchase of EYMS and some of First Group's Manchester operations), plus Swindon a couple of years ago, to add to their mixture of operations from Tyneside to the south coast, some of which aren't necessarily worthy of a stand-alone thread, I thought I'd start a "general" thread for them, like the First/ Stagecoach ones.
For example, service changes around Newcastle/ Sunderland (http://newsroom.gonortheast.co.uk/news/service-changes-from-19-may-366066) see...
....looks to be a general cut in PVR.
For example, service changes around Newcastle/ Sunderland (http://newsroom.gonortheast.co.uk/news/service-changes-from-19-may-366066) see...
- the withdrawal of the cross-Sunderland 36 (replaced by diverting the current X5 - renumbered 55 - via Silksworth, and adjustments to other services)
- the Tyneside 11 goes back to what it once was (Whitley Bay - Wallsend), with the 1 extended from Gateshead to the Metro Centre to cover it (previously the 96 over this section of route?)
- the Durham - Sunderland service remains seven buses per hour but alters from "6xslow + 1xfast" to "5xslow + 2xfast"
- the Bishop Auckland "local" service (18) replaced by an extended X24 (from what I understand of Bishop Auckland it's one of those places where the old "town" services are now generally replaced by extensions/diversions of Arriva services to Durham/ Darlington etc)
