Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(16 Apr 2024, 2:14 pm)Lewis1509 Would absolutely never happen at all in a million years, its a massive reach but I've thought of a cool route, just thinking of bus spotters instead of actual customers lol
Merge Stagecoach 18 with GNE 19 and 317 to operate a giant loop service
Clockwise trips would continue to run as 317 and anticlockwise trips to run as 318, also operating via Monkseaton to connect Whitley Bay with Northumberland Park. To connect the 18 with the 317, either operate it the former route to Wallsend or just the 12 route.
Cramlington to North Shields 19 trips would still run as of now, as a Service 319.
Evening trips on all services would run as normal, however I'm not too sure what to do about the numbering. 317 could operate from Whitley Bay to Wallsend as the 317, and the returning trip as a 318 maybe? Then evening 18 trips could stay as the 18 (similar to the 54 and 354).

SNE should also look at an express version of the current 10 and 11. I am aware that the Jarrow to North Shields is bound by Nexus to operate every 30 mins, perhaps linking in express and standard service could achieve this
Revised 10 and 11.
Every 30 mins South Shields via curent route to Low Simonside. Then extend every hour to Jarrow and North Shields.
New X10 and X11
Hourly, South Shields - Laygate - Tyne Dock - Simonside - Valley View - Jarrow - Percy Main - Royal Quays - North Shields.

What I think would be better service is
New Service X40 cobalt SouthTyne Express
Jarrow Bus Station -Through Tunnel - A19 North - off At Northumberland Park (Holystone) junction - stop at Toby shops then Northumberland Park Metro- then down to Cobalt - Silverlink (stop back of cinema) down bus only lane through Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate -Percy Main Metro -Royal Quays - then Bus only lane into Tyne Tunnel -Jarrow
Creating links south of Tyne to Cobalt as well as a quicker version of getting from Jarrow Metro Northumberland Park metro and Percy Main and back to Jarrow Metro stations as well as hitting key working areas
It would also link with 307/309 /19/22 /Corridor and when the new line comes in a quicker link from Jarrow(south of Tyne) to Ashington
(Yesterday, 3:43 am)deanmachine I think most people would just take the ferry.
(Yesterday, 6:42 am)LVK 404L Depends on what ticket you have.
If you have a SNE only pass, you may not opt for the ferry and stick with bus. Also depends on whereabouts on route you are.
