Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
A while back, I commented on the timetable anomalies' in Chester, once the evening timetables kick-in. Although nowhere near those services in scale, I thought I would bring up a little issue with the 20 series of services (there's not even going to be mention of anything purple either!).
Specifically, I wanted to comment on the ones out of Durham on an evening.
Just as an example, the 20A at 1800 and the X20 at 1815 have a decent enough headway leaving Durham.
However, the nature of the two routes, mean that from Rainton Bridge, the two services are often just minutes apart from each other, as they work their way towards Sunderland.
It's an ideal situation for passengers who just miss the 20A, but I can't see the X20 following behind, being a good use of resources.
I haven't quite worked out how to break the two services up, without it impacting too much on rotas and the 20.
If the X20 was to remain at 1815, could it be that the 20A at 1800 could swap places with the 20 leaving 10mins prior?
