(17 Oct 2013, 12:16 pm)cbma06 I think on the 230, there were getting more passengers on the section between Easington Village and Hartlepool, not much on the Easington to Sunderland section probably due to the Arriva 15 minute frequency on that section and GNE on the later section towards Sunderland, Dalton park is interesting since Arriva 23 from Hartlepool doesn't serve Dalton Park, as the Arriva 24 serves Dalton Park, might pick up passengers from Seaham to Hartlepool.

Looks like the old arrive service number X27, wonder if it serves peterlee bus station, be ashame if it Doesn't.

Im more surprised that GNE hasn't think of extending some of there service 60 from Seaham along the route of the X7 to Peterlee then have the service 60 go down to Hartlepool and have the other service 60's as normal.

(17 Oct 2013, 1:31 pm)Andreos1 Dalton Park is a must as is somewhere before the Galleries (Hetton or Houghton), if only to pick up passengers that would have to get to the Galleries before going to Gateshead on one of their many changes - you have lost any potential passenger pick ups at the Galleries by virtue of a pre-purchased GNE or Nexus ticket

(03 Nov 2013, 9:11 pm)Adam Malarkey I would of had the 15:00 Return Journey put back an Hour to 16:00 and Perhaps had extra In/Out Journey in that 4 Hour Gap in the Timetable and I can't wait to see what they have operating this X27 Service.

So could you of had - 09:30 - 10:30 To MetroCentre
- 15:00 - 16:00 To Thornley

It also looks like Pygalls could be trying to pinch Passengers off the X88 as the X88 to MetroCentre from Washington is at 55 Mins Past Each Hour and at 15 Mins Past Coming Back on the 2 Journeys Pygalls will Operate

(04 Nov 2013, 6:02 pm)Tom I imagine whatever that will be used on the 230.

(04 Nov 2013, 6:41 pm)CatsFast101 How interesting, the new 230 will be good idea. Local independents should try to creat unique links. Easington-New Seham-Ryhope-Sunderland is dominated too much by 23/24/61/60/39/42 all joining along the route, it's never going to get that many passengers really. I can't see why Seaham Spectrum Business Park is used a terminus surely the extra few minutes going down to Seaham Interchange would of been better? Creating links to sea front/town centre?

(04 Nov 2013, 6:43 pm)Kuyoyo I think you'll find that it is actually terminating at Byron Place, see here
