(30 Jun 2021, 12:51 am)Acky81 Why is everyone obsessed with the 60 going to South Shields instead of the 20. They tried it years ago with service 37 parkside to South Shields via Sunderland and it never worked so for axed.

(27 Jun 2021, 4:20 pm)ASX_Terranova It doesnt but.....
Technically because the 50, 5 & 55 interwork, so you could get away with it.
The brand could be changed to Sea & ???? (I'll leave the ? To the rest of you)
I would also send all three services down ocean road if possible.

(30 Jun 2021, 11:27 am)Washingtonian Quite like your 55 idea. From Monkton Lane I would send it on to the A194 (White Mare Pool way) and have it serve Follingsby Park, then on to Concord. From there I would send it to Blackfell and Oxclose then onto the Galleries. As a result I would withdraw Little Pinks 86. I would then increase the frequency of the 85 on evenings and Sundays to every half hour and extend to Teal Farm to replace the 86 journeys.The little pinks network is fine at the moment. I would potentally extend the 55 to serve Biddick (Parkway) and Harraton (San Lorenzo, Bonemill Lane)

(30 Jun 2021, 9:51 pm)Washingtonian I personally wouldn't extend it to serve Biddick and Harraton as both villages are pretty well served at the moment. If I'm correct I think Biddick has around 6-7 buses and hour during the day and Harraton around 4 in total I think? I agree the Little Pinks are fine at the moment but I think if the 55 intergrated the 86 route there would be potential for more passengers.

(30 Jun 2021, 10:40 pm)ASX_Terranova Not round the back in biddick since the 180 & 493 were withdrawn and nothing on bonemill lane since the 393 was axed, you could also include rickleton way (293) & Cambrian Way (148). I'm just trying to cover every basis.

(01 Jul 2021, 8:18 am)Andreos1 I lose track of the Washington services, but pretty sure Harraton and Rickleton have more than that.
2/2a, 8 and 81.
Appreciate the 2/2a doesn't quite hit Rickleton mind. A fair drop from days of yore mind, when there was the likes of the 294, 179, 180, X6, 777, 638 etc.
I'm not sure the loop roads in Biddick or Lambton need a service to be honest.
As for Bonemill Lane - there's the 8. Scoots straight down it to/from Harraton and Rickleton.
