North East Bus Stations - Dan - 26 Aug 2014 (26 Aug 2014, 8:01 pm)Andreos Constantopolous Aye, x90, x3, x4 and if I remember right, the x5 all served the estate at one point or another - missing the stops out.Imagine it's because the stands are quite busy as it is? The X1 can often have waiting time there, and the 4 likewise. Adding another bus to the mix would mean buses going onto the stand behind possibly.

That was my initial thoughts, but then look at the number of services (and frequency) which use the stand (can never remember numbers), the 37 does use.

W5/W6 stand behind it. The Silver Arrows doesn't tend to layover on the stand it picks up at, if it has time to sit there...

M2/M3 and possibly the 50 (not 100% sure on that). Re: RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Dan - 26 Aug 2014 (26 Aug 2014, 8:30 pm)Andreos Constantopolous M2/M3 and possibly the 50 (not 100% sure on that).Not sure then. I know I've jumped off an X1 before and a 37 has been pulled in, but not a Silver Arrows... Obviously when an X1 is in, a 4 should be in. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Malarkey - 26 Aug 2014 (26 Aug 2014, 8:53 pm)Dan Not sure then. Galleries Stand Allocations Stand A: 4/8/X1/X1A/922 Stand B: 2A/2C/37/X88 and 939 Stand C: M2/M2A/M3/W5/W6 and 50 Stand D: 4/X1/X1A Stand E: M2/M2A/M3/50/23/921/922 and 960 Stand F: 8/37/W5/W6 and 939 Whey that's I can remember off top of my Head Anyway, Don't Believe I have missed anything off. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Andreos1 - 27 Aug 2014 (26 Aug 2014, 10:20 pm)NEBCD Malarkey Galleries Stand Allocations Yes, thinking about it, that looks about right. Had a feeling there were a few anomalies in the stand allocation and what I said with the m2/m3. Not sure I agree with the stand allocation at all, but it isn't relevant to the thread. Time for a new thread? RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Malarkey - 27 Aug 2014 (27 Aug 2014, 4:44 am)Andreos Constantopolous Yes, thinking about it, that looks about right. Sure there is a Thread called "Bus Station Designs" or something along those lines in the "Off Topic Bus Chat" section of the Forum.

I've created a new general thread for bus stations (that exist) in the NE. RE: North East Bus Stations - col87 - 02 Sep 2014 The two worse bus stations must be in Hartlepool. The so called Interchange is a joke it only has the 57 and a few coaches using it while Seaton Carew only has the Middlesbrough Service 1 stopping in it. Can anyone think of any worse examples RE: North East Bus Stations - S813 FVK - 02 Sep 2014 (02 Sep 2014, 4:19 pm)col87 The two worse bus stations must be in Hartlepool.

Can anyone think of any worse examples I think Hartlepool is fine without a major bus station/interchange and Marina Way. Its not as if its too far to Walk from the Marina. Its too small for a bus station and doesnt have that many bus services.

Its not as if its too far to Walk from the Marina. Its too small for a bus station and doesnt have that many bus services. Victoria Road is the main spot really.

RE: North East Bus Stations - Jimmi - 03 Sep 2014 (03 Sep 2014, 12:06 pm)cbma06 Does Scarlet Band 58 terminate at Hartlepool Interchange?. Yes it does. RE: North East Bus Stations - S813 FVK - 03 Sep 2014 Regardless of how many services terminate at the Interchange, its not that far to walk from the Town Centre. Hartlepool is just a small town and i dont think there is anywhere (close to the city centre) to build a bus station or any space to extend the Interchange to house more routes.

The ANE services all used to stop there - they now follow the x35 around Marina Way.

RE: North East Bus Stations - col87 - 03 Sep 2014 (03 Sep 2014, 12:06 pm)cbma06 Does Scarlet Band 58 terminate at Hartlepool Interchange?. Yes i meant the 58 and not the 57 the only other service to use the Interchange is the Scarlet Band Eveing 22 . Some 36 buses use it as a lay over but all other services terminate at Marina or Victoria Road. It was a waste of money. A better place for a bus station is the Shopping Centre Car Park off Park Road RE: North East Bus Stations - S813 FVK - 04 Sep 2014 (03 Sep 2014, 9:13 pm)col87 Yes i meant the 58 and not the 57 the only other service to use the Interchange is the Scarlet Band Eveing 22 .
