Stagecoach North East: Order Predictions
Stagecoach North East: Order Predictions
(20 Apr 2020, 11:10 pm)S830OFT Would be nice to get some Optare Solos for Hartlepool on their town services as they don't seem to justify large buses on their frequency. As for service 1 they can always retain some of the 360 batch...I completely disagree I often see the 7 near full during the day and that just from Headland to the town. If anything there are times when full size buses are needed again. The 360 batch are to small for the 1 it often gets full before leaving Middlesbrough and from Hartlepool Cente. The 3 on a morning same story it gets full by the time it gets to the Catholic club so solos definitely do not help. The only times solo will be justified are on the evening services and if they decide to add some shorter routes again. Solo will just mean buses getting full to quickly for the majority of daytime services and leaving people stuck at the stop. Some enviro 300 and double decks for the busiest times though then I would definitely agree
