Go North East return to full levels of service from 10 April

From Saturday 10 April, almost all Go North East services will be reintroduced to full levels of service in readiness for the reopening of non-essential retail and various leisure aspects from 12 April.

Early morning key worker journeys will also remain, as will the extra buses that are currently running for school and college students to help with social distancing.

You can view the new timetables by heading to Go North East’s timetables and maps section, selecting your service and changing the calendar to your desired date.
