Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(30 Aug 2021, 8:09 am)Dan Why do you blame Go North East in this scenario?
Have you ever considered that it may not have been completely their decision, and that the managers of the bus stations are responsible for dictating the number of buses that can serve them?
Park Lane would be unsuitable for departures both south and west in the city, which is why it’s only served by buses going west (ie 2 to Washington, 39 to Pennywell, etc). Arguably there’s scope to better use Stand H (only served by the 700), serve Stand R (only served by the temporary SNS service) but there’s still no where near enough room for all of Stagecoach’s routes and the absent Go North East ones.
Eldon Square in Newcastle is notoriously difficult to serve given how small it is. The stand allocation is being completely revised to provide a better flow with departures being coordinated to avoid stand clashes, but ultimately some services have also had to vacate the station too. The city, quite desperately, needs better bus station facilities.
