Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(26 Sep 2017, 8:33 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Problem is its not much of an express from Ryhope etc if it diverts through all those estates before running non stop from Hastings Hill. I think their existing X24 model straight out along a major artery is part of what makes the X24 appealing to passengers. I still think there could be a market for an X24 variant to run from City Centre along Durham Road, calling at Doxford Park at peak times then on to Newcastle non-stop. There's no competition (bus or metro) to Newcastle along the length of Durham Road.
