Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
I propose some changes to Stagecoach North East Busways, these include revised allocations so therefore these are the following:
26063-26080 would be solely allocated to the 30/31/36 allowing two spares.
22508-22515 and 22413 would be on the 6/7/8 with 22408 being a spare
39705, 39706 and 39715-39721 would therefore go on the 32/32A/35, the addition of the extra two buses allows both routes to be every 20 minutes, 39704 would be spare.
39701 and 39702 would be on the 72.
35163, 35172, 35173, 35188 and 35189 would transfer to Hartlepool releasing 39710-39714 to Slatyford to allow for further fleet standardisation.
39711-39714 would be allocated to the 87/88 to allow each to become half-hourly with 39710 being a spare for these buses and the 72
39703-39705 would be used on the 71
The 18 does not warrant large single deck buses such as the ALX300 that is currently allocated so 35192-35195 would transfer to Walkergate in return for 22343-22346 with remaining 35190 and 35191 would go to Hartlepool replacing 34550 and 34562.
The Slayford express services would all become every 20 minutes with the X78 being replaced by the X77 which would also additionally serve Newcastle Airport car park, the X79 would be a standalone service running every 30 minutes independent of the other services and renumbered X78. The X78 would be the only service serving Thornhill Road The PVR would also be increased by new X72 which would run limited stop from Eldon Square to Chapel House stopping only at Barras Bridge, Cowgate Junction KFC, English Martyrs Catholic Church, Slatyford Retail Park, Westerhope Go Outdoors, West Denton Shops and then all the stops after that. It would take 21 minutes.
The PVR would therefore be 14 which would be made up of 19194-19198 and 19200 as well as 22342-22346 plus 22080-22082. 22078-22080 would be put on the X78. 22076 and 22077 would be spares.
10631-10652 would be on the 62/63 with 10653 and 10654 as spares.
12061-12071 would be on the 39 with 12072 as a spare
12073-12084 would be on the 40 with 12085 and 12086 being spares.
22049 and 22050 and 22067-22075 would be on the 10/11 with 22047 and 22048 would be spares.
22043-22046 would be on the 8 which would now run throughout the day as a standalone service every 30 minutes.
19679-19682 would be on the X63 which would now run a slightly different route round Killingworth. This would be the following after the Lakeside:
East Bailey-Killingworth Bus Station-Citadel West-West Bailey-Then towards Newcastle. 19683 would be spare
19444-19446, 19647, 19670-19678 would be on the 12 with 19443 being spare.
19201-19211 would be on the 38 with 19212 being spare
19218, 19219, 19379-19389 and 19430-19433 would be on the 22 with 19215, 19216 and 19217 as spares. It would be a priority to get all buses branded.
19434-19442 plus 19213 and 19214 and 10000 plus 22011 and 22341 would be on the 1. Whatever else is left would be spare. It would be a priority to get all buses branded.
39722-39725 would be on the 15/15A with 39726 being spare.
24001-24003 would come for NEW X24
22408-22412 would be on the X47
22570, 22574 and 22579-22581 would be on the 100
22032-22042 would be listed for disposal
22021-22025 would also be listed for Disposal
