Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2016
(01 Sep 2016, 9:51 pm)Tom Sadly I agree with you there, it normally has a few passengers going into town say between 10 and 12 and coming out of town at 3 or 4 but other than that it is normally empty between Walllsend and Newcastle which is a shame as it's quicker. Even when the 11 is in front of the 1 or 22 people still seem to wait for the 1 or 22...my mate lives in East Howdon and used to be able to get the 17 in time for work at 7.30 but now he cant,tbh even the 17 was poorly advertised, it breifly became the centurion in 2013,in my opinion it should of been left as was,the problem with 17 was that it had buses that were to big and clipping cars,granted yeah streets are narrow but residents also Parked cars in stupid places,in my eyes they Should of just put it back to every 20 mins with Smaller buses and advertised it properly also the 9 aswell ive never got why It doesnt serve east howdon
How is it a mix between the 27 and 310? And also it's not a unneeded service because without it places like Willington Quay, East Howdon, Knightside Gardens etc. would be left without a service unless you mean bring back the 17/96?
