Minor timetable changes

1st Sep 2024 onwards

Following feedback from users of these bus services, there will be some minor changes to early evening services from Newcastle towards Sunniside and Burnopfield to improve connections from Gateshead and Team Valley.

On Mondays to Fridays, the current 19:10 service X71 from Newcastle will be retimed to depart at 19:03 and will instead run as a service X71A to Consett via Gateshead and Team Valley instead of via Whickham. There will continue to be departures at 18:58 and 19:25 from Eldon Square towards Dunston and Whickham on services X30 and X31. The current 17:55 departure from Consett on service X71 will be retimed to depart at 17:52 and will run three minutes earlier throughout. On Saturdays, the current 19:15 service X71 will be retimed to 19:05 and also operate as an X71A.

On Saturday mornings, the 09:08 departure from Eldon Square on service X71 will be retimed to 09:05 and operate three minutes earlier throughout.
