Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(13 Jan 2023, 8:33 pm)nova347 I feel like Team Valley needs a proper connection to Newcastle on a regular basis, you could extend the 93/94, I wouldn't extend the 97 as people already complain about how long that journey is or the X71/X72 but I would extend the 1, to Team Valley Marquis Way then loop back towards Whitley Bay, this would improve links to Team Valley from Wallsend etc, you could get rid of the 91 and it would only have 2 PVR, and if the 51/52's are going back to Newcastle which I don't think they are, just debrand some of them and send them to Percy Main as Euro 6 spares, or some Versas from Depford, as if Percy Main can operate the Q3 with pretty much no problem, an extra 2 PVR on the 1 would impact driver shortages much, as it would strengthen links to North Tyneside. Not to mention you have all the Quacity Versas which 4 are already at Percy main on the 41/41A which doesn't need a Euro 6 bus and can be run by anything, so there are 4 then there are 3 others one hasn't been in Service since October, another one August then the 3rd one hasn't been on since 23rd of December, so there is plenty of Euro 6 buses to do the route.
I mean you can do the 93/94, it'll take around 23 mins to get to Newcastle and back to Gateshead with a layover increasing the PVR by 1
