(07 Mar 2022, 5:53 pm)F114TML That's one hell of a diversion. You're adding at least 15 minutes to the total journey time (assuming it's going along the Sea Front, and depending on route), forcing buses along Seaton Lane which is incredibly congested and at times can take you 10-15 minutes just to get from the A19 to the crossroads at the school, and it'll use the horrific sliproads and associated junctions at Seaton, which are bad enough in a car.
Wouldn't it just be better to offer through tickets for the X6?
You would think an operator with an ounce of common sense would find out where those cars are going to and from and work out why the once hourly 71 gets stuck in there every single day.
Maybe doing something about it.
They can only come and go in one of two directions and I'd hazard a guess that a big chunk are travelling between Seaham and Doxford Park.
Two buses or a bit of inconvenience in the car on Seaton Lane? Hmm. Its a toughy.
