Temporary evening reductions to some services from 4 January

In light of ongoing staffing challenges, and the rise in Omicron infection rates being seen around the country, we are making some temporary reductions reducing the evening frequency on some routes from Tuesday 4 January.

It is hoped that these changes will reduce staffing requirements, and in turn the number of on-the-day cancellations being made to journeys on some routes across the Go North East network.

The services which will be reduced on an evening are:

• X-lines X1 – view timetable from 4 January
• Coaster 1 – view timetable from 4 January
• Connections 4 – view timetable from 4 January
• Country Ranger 8 – view timetable from 4 January
• Service 9 – view timetable from 4 January

• Cityrider 56 – view timetable from 4 January
• Service 57 – view timetable from 4 January

• Cobalt & Coast 311 (with the 310 additionally serving Hadrian Park instead) – view timetable from 4 January
• Quaycity Q3 – view timetable from 4 January

In addition, we will also be temporarily suspending service X22 due to a drop in passenger numbers with alternative options available travelling via Gateshead, and the Nexus service 33 in Newcastle will be reduced to hourly.

If your service isn’t listed above, it will continue to run to its normal timetable.

These temporary changes will remain in place until further notice.
