Go North East Riverside Depot

[magpiepotts]

I've just been offered a job with Go Northeast t Riverside depot and was just wondering if anyone could inform me of the services that currently operate out of that depot. I currently live in the Midlands so I'm not familiar with the services and routes. I'm starting at the beginning of July so want to get a heads up before I start

Not counting works, scholars or oddities: 10/10A/10B; 12; 21/X21; 27; 49/49A; 51/52; 53/54; 57; 58; 93/94; 96; Q3; X10; X66; 643; S2 I think are pretty much most of them, spread across different rotas.

Thankyou for your information. Much appreciated

Do new starters start with certain routes first?

Not sure these days. They used to but the mini bus routes are gone now. I think the main rotas are something like:

10/10A/10B & 12 (possibly also the 643)

21/X21, 53/54, 58 & Q3

27, 49/49A, 51/52, 53/54, 57, 93/94, 96 & X66

X10

The 51/52, 53/54 & 93/94 are all circular services clockwise/anticlockwise.

Thanks for all this info.

GNE’s National Express work also operates out of Riverside.

Vehicle allocations are all over the place. There’s plenty of route brands but ‘wrong brand’ workings are a daily occurance. You’ll often find X21 branded vehicles on the 21 and vice-versa which confuses quite a few of the passengers. There’s plenty of other examples too.

The 51/52, 53/54 & 93/94 are all circular services clockwise/anticlockwise.

Whilst technically the case with the 93/94, passengers can’t stay on across the terminus at Gateshead interchange, the bus goes out of service.
