Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Service - Fab 56 - reduced by one bus an hour in frequency to every 15 mins Monday to Saturday daytimes. Evenings and Sundays every 30 mins.N56 unchanged.
New Service - 73 - every 30 mins Monday to Saturday dayimes. Sunderland Interchange - University of Sunderland - The Royalty Theatre - Royal Hosptial - Pallion - Castletown (via Northern Spire bridge) - Hylton Castle - North Hylton - Waterview Park - Teal Farm - Peel Retail Park - Sulgrave - Concord Bus Station - The Drive - Donwell - Usworth - Follingsby Park - Leam Lane - Heworth (current 84 route between Concord and Heworth)
This service will merge parts of the routes currently served by the existing 73 and 135/136. This service would also provide new and direct links between more northern villages of Washington, Pallion and the Royal Hosptial, via the Northern Spire. Am I right in thinking this is not currently served by any bus service? Better links would also be provided to the improved Peel Retail Park. This service would replaced the 84 between Concord and Heworth. Fab fifty Six reduced by one bus an hour, existing 73 would be scrapped and services 135/6 would be shortened. This would help fund this new service run commercially.
New Service 73A - Every 60 mins evenings and Sundays - The route will be exactly the same as service 73, except it will not serve the Donwell - Heworth part of the route and instead continue to Washington Galleries, via Albany. Service 86 will no longer serve Waterview Park and Teal Farm as this new service would cover these areas instead. Reisdents living in Teal Farm would now benefit with a bus every hour on Sundays. Sulgrave would benefit with an extra bus per hour to the Galleries on evenings and Sundays. Peel Retail Park would also be served by an extra bus per hour.
