Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(12 Sep 2022, 9:53 pm)Storx Keep seeing people moaning about the 65 being constantly delayed and it got me thinking how could you improve it and came up with these new routes.So Seaham to Durham would be hourly, when the Seaham - Hetton part is the part with the most traffic, aswell its either Arriva or GNE, for most people so therefore it would be every 15 mins with the 60, with the 61 cancellation.
60 - Permanently dropped to every 15 minutes.
61 - Withdrawn
X6 - As is (Hourly)
X7 - Same route as X6 to Dalton Park extended, 65 route through Murton, extended to Peterlee hourly via 61 route, every hour
X8 - Same route as X6 to Dalton Park extended around the 61 Murton loop, every 30 minutes
35 - Current route, every 30 minutes extended to Durham via the 65 route, hourly
36 - Current 65 route, every hour.
Overall the PVR would be the same / possibly slightly reduced it's just moving resources to give better service to more areas and a new express service to Seaham rather than the 61 duplicating numerous services and a bus spending it's time going around in circles around Murton.
With these common sections
22/23/60 - Every 7.5 Minutes
X6/X7/X8 - Every 15 Minutes
35/36 - Every 30 Minutes
The X6 only takes 1 minute longer than the 61 does and Hetton etc get a quicker direct service to Sunderland without a mystery tour around Murton and removes duplicate services through the West side of Seaham and fixes the driver issues with the 35/36 interworking.
