Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
X83 - there just isn’t the demand for passengers even before Covid-19 through ovington/ovingham/wylam and even heddon anymore. It’s already a trek from newbrough to the town without making it go the x84 route too. Now if you dropped these out as well as heddon and Denton burn, you might just have something, particularly in peak commuter time.
X86 a non- starter, can’t get anything bigger than a transit van over ovingham bridge - and even that isn’t pleasant.
Ad122/x122 - route can’t be done in an hour - too long to be a competitor to the already long 685, and next to nil traffic for Gilsland/birdoswald, asides a few days here and there in peak holiday seasons, 185 covers this. Not going to go to a PVR of 3 - there just isn’t the reward to justify it.
