Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
(30 Jan 2022, 12:14 pm)Drifter60 Well whilst I’m unsure if this was simple driver error or perhaps a conscious decision based on traffic, I wonder if that could be permanent route change to serve the top of Seaham. Considering the X10 is no longer as fast as it used to be, I wonder if it would create new connections/increase passengers - and would it increase journey times all that much? Obviously, limited stop serving - Seaton Crescent, New Seaham Mill Inn & Mount Pleasant.Might as well take it down the train tracks, and through to seaham byron place. For it to add around a extra 10 mins would probs add passengers, or just Seaham Mill Inn, as that has all the connection of every bus service in Seaham. Bar the 62, but obviously you can make the connection at Dalton Park

Seriously though, not sure if it would work from a passenger perspective (particularly on a match day). It might look good from an ops perspective, but I can't see passengers taking to it too well. Might sway them towards the train or other means even more. Which is the last thing GNE need!
They've been relying too much on the product imo and the product hasn't provided the results they want or need.
