Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
X1A. I can't help thinking that it isn't the best use of resources.
If I remember correctly, the vehicle ran light from Picktree to NPower and then picked up a 921.
On a morning, it did some sort of X1A/921 in the opposite direction.
That stopped and obviously Chester have it now.
Would Chester be better off using the vehicle on a 21 or X21 to assist on the Durham Road corridor?
? Even reintroducing a version of the 726, so that those in Picktree who use it - still have a peak bus to/from Newcastle.
It is generally empty on an evening ex-Newcastle, once beyond the Galleries. But can pick up decent loads between those two points. If it extended beyond Fatfield towards Houghton or Shiney Row, I wonder if it would assist loads.
So:
21a
Newcastle - Chester via Picktree - runs 1x return peak journey via Low Fell, Birtley, Vigo Lane and Picktree.
Utilises Green Gemini.
X4
Newcastle - Houghton - runs 1x return peal journey via Old Durham Road, Galleries, Fatfield, Washington Highway, Shiney Row and current 4 route to Houghton.
No fixed vehicle allocation, so operates via Highway between Shiney and Fatfield incase decker needs to be allocated.
