Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(15 Sep 2020, 1:11 pm)Storx Probably it doesn't particularly help the numbers of some routes either.Yes and service numbers that haven't changed for decades. The Wrekenton to Newcastle via Low Fell route has been the 25, 1, 24 and 2 in the space of, I would guess, the last ten years? So I can see how it would be confusing.
2, 39, 60, 61 - Ryhope
20, 35, 55, X1 - Houghton / Hetton
21, 25, 28B - Low Fell
People might be more aware if they had some link between each other and advertised together but for someone who's never used a bus it's no wonder they're confused with the 21, 25, 28B etc especially when you bring the brands in at the same time and change them every other week. It's only really a GNE issue aswell as Stagecoach and Arriva in general have logical numbers blocked together (at least North of the Tyne).
