Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(20 Feb 2024, 11:45 am)deanmachine I think that would probably be the best case for a night network, replicate the metro, but using existing bus routes already keep. For Sunderland, keep the 56 as its already in use and goes past Nissan, 27 for South Tyneside, I'm not an expert north of the Tyne except the metro replacement routes, but two buses to Whitley Bay using either side of the loop, and that 35 but extended to the Airport. I don't think they need to follow the metro precisely but roughly through the areas served.
Hopefully if franchising happens they can do something like this, and integrate metro tickets through the night.
