Go North East

[cbma06]

RE: Go North East
Following our consultation, we will be making a number of changes to Washington services from 11 November 2012:

Services 2A and 2C will increase in frequency so that each service operates every 20 minutes, providing a 10 minute frequency from Penshaw to Sunderland via Chester Road

Journeys which operate only between Washington Galleries, Ayton and Birtley on service M2 will be withdrawn. A 15-minute service will operate from Heworth Interchange to Birtley via Washington Galleries and Ayton.

Service M3 will be diverted from Rickleton to serve Birtley instead of Chester le Street. Passengers can still travel to Chester le Street on Lime service 8 which operates every 30 minutes, and on Whey Aye 5-0 service 50 which also operates every 30 minutes, and will be diverted via Ayton bus link.

Service 50A will be retimed to provide better connections for employees at Waterview Park, and it will also follow the daytime route via Sulgrave.

As a result of this consultation, Go North East is pleased to announce there will be no changes to Metrolink service M1. It will continue to operate every 10 minutes Monday-Saturday daytimes throughout the length of the route
