RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Storx - 28 Sep 2023

(27 Sep 2023, 10:19 pm)col87 Now Wilko has gone for good with parts of the shopping centre more or less derelict and the indoor market literally falling to bits Hartlepool Town centre is also quite poor with not really a lot in it.

Aye you're right there mind, was there the other day as I fancied a look around Wilko there (thought it might have more in as it's always dead usually) as we were down there for the day at the Headlands. What a bleak place, absolutely no reason to go there considering most the shops in there are at Tees Bay or opposite the marina. Seeing some bloke off his face on god knows what near the toilets just added a special charm aswell.

Better than Stockton though mind where there's literally no reason to go.

Then they wonder why people don't use buses when literally every bus forces you to the place - good luck getting to Tees Bay or the Marina though where arguably people would rather be.

They are buses to both but not many and only certain areas can get to them. 

I think once it known about the 36 going to Teesside Park I can actually see quite a few people using it.  My concern though is that they needs to be a better stop though as going from one service in each direction every 30 minutes to 4 services every few minutes. I think it’s likely to be a passing point as well so they a good chance of 3 buses trying to get in to what just fits one bus so something needs even a second stop would help with one stop for services towards and another stop for services towards Stockton.

It's the same with 90% of town centres now. They're inconvenient versus Retail Parks, so the limited number of people who haven't completely caved in to online shopping, will instead go there for the convenience of being able to park right next to the shop they want.

Galleries in Washington is dead nowadays, but the retail park across the road is thriving. Same with the retail park at Peel, ever since they got new tenants in a couple years ago.

Yeah you're right there, mind the Galleries is doing better than most. Least there's actually something to go for there with the 2 supermarkets at each end. Mind must say, the Wilko anchor being empty is a bit of a blow.

3 & 13 reverting to previous times, Wheatsheaf admitting the changes haven't worked with buses bunching and causing big gaps in services 4 & 16 changes to combat similar issues.

Where will the extra buses come from?, as they've sold 5 of the gas buses.

Exactly. And the extra drivers, 50+ gone this year. Walker taking management hints from Feetham.

Could end up with the Walkergate E300 (from Manchester we currently have) as they seem to be Sunderland bound when the E400MMC 117 batch turns up

Must be using magic to get them....... looking forward to the cancelation's on a daily bases..

Could do, would make sense.


RE: Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Acky81 - 03 Oct 2023

Where's this come from?

3s are alright generally. Hopefully the 16 is evening out the standing times.

Rumour was 4s and 13s interworking to help with the issues there.

The offices. Changes aren't to restore service levels, but to even out times. Even if it does require increase in PVR only one bus has arrived here.

I can't confirm 100%, but based on the Callerton plans it's going to be here - https://www.google.com/maps/place/55%C2%B000'28.0%22N+1%C2%B042'38.0%22W/@55.005944,-1.7116861,15.8z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d55.007787!4d-1.710543?entry=ttu

I tried to find it the other day, there's a bus loop there and a high curb for them to stop behind the van. Can see it if you move about with Streetview.
