Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
I have decided to come up with my own service suggestions for Stagecoach in Newcastle and Sunderland:
1- Keep the service the same and allocate it 19434-19446 and 19645 and 19646 (all would be branded) with 19647 and 19670 as spares
6/7/8- Remove service 6 and make service 7 every 20 minutes with an extension to DWP Tyneview Park taking 80 minutes each way with a PVR of 8. This would be made up of 22508-22515 with 22013 as spare.
10/11-Keep them the same with an allocation of 22071-22082 with 22070 as spare
12-Make the service every 10 minutes full route reducing the PVR by 1 to 11, which would be made up of 19671-19681 with 19682 as spare
15/15A- Walker-RVI loop. This would consist of running the current route from Blackett Street and then Percy Street-RVI-Spital Tounges-Barrack Road-Monument (in the case of the 15, the 15A would do the same in reverse) With a PVR of 3 made up of 39722-39724 with 39725 as spare
18-Keep the PVR the same at 4 made up of 22341-22344 with 22345 as spare with two route changes, instead of the 18 running all of Stoneleigh Avenue it would run the east half to fill in a bus all the way along Stoneleigh Avenue and it would also run a different route from Walker Bus Terminal to Wallsend via Titan Road and then following the route of the 40 to Wallsend with the Q3 doing the route along Westbourne Avenue
22-Keep the route the same with an identical PVR made up of 19430-19433 plus 19379-19384 plus 19214-19219 plus 19212 all of which would be branded. 19213, 19210 and 19211 would be spare
30/31/36-Keep the services the same made up of 26063-26078 with 26079 and 26080 as spares
32/32A-Keep the routes as what is being proposed running as far as Montagu Estate with a PVR made up of 39702-39705 with 39706 as spare
NEW 34-It would run the current 32/32A between Pilgrim Street and Fawdon Metro via High Heaton when it would then follow the number 6 route to the Metrocentre taking 85 minutes full route meaning a PVR of 6 with a half-hourly service made up of 39715-39720 with 39721 as spare. The bus would omit Kenton Bar Roundabout and would via the M71 route to Newbiggin Hall instead.
35-It would have the extra journey that is being proposed and it be made up of 35194 and 35195 with 35193 as spare. The extra journey being proposed would be implemented and one later evening journey would be added.
38-Reduce the frequency to every 12 minutes which would be a PVR reduction of 1 allowing a PVR to made up of 19201-19209 with 10000 as spare
39/40-The 40 would change route to terminate at Walker Bus Terminal by following the full route of Welbeck Road until the A186 roundabout where it would follow the A186 Bath Street to Walker Bus Terminal with a PVR reduction of 2 also because of a frequency reduction every 6 minutes instead of every 5 minutes. It would be allocated 12061-12081 with 12082 and 12083 as spares.
62/63-Stay the same as it currently is with no PVR change and a PVR of 21 with 10652 and 10653 as spares.
X63-Keep the PVR and route the same with a PVR of 4 made up of 12084-12086 and 10654. 19673 would be spare.
71-The proposed new route via Fenham and would miss out Chapel Park and would instead serve the Jingling Gate pub but no change in Throckley. PVR made up of 22346 (transferred from Walkergate) and 22347 and 22348 with 22013 as spare.
72-The current route with 39728 and 39729 being allocated, 39730 would be spare.
87- The current route with no changes and 39731 being allocated.
88- The current route with no cahnges and 39732 being allocated.
Both of the above would have a spare of 22024 which would be transferred over from Walkergate.
100- No changes with the current route and an allocation of 22570, 22574 and 22579-22581.
X47- A frequency reduction to every 12 minutes with a PVR of 4 made up of 22409-22412 with 22408 as spare
X77/X78/X79/NEW X80/X82/X87/X88-The X78 would be withdrawn and all of the journeys would become X77s and new X80 would run from Eldon Square-Cowgate-Slatyford Shops-West Denton Shops-Chapel House taking 20 minutes and interworking with the other buses running every 20 minutes adding 2 onto the PVR, also the X77 would become every 20 minutes adding a further 2. The PVR would be made up of 19194-19200 plus 22413 and 22067-22069 with 22049-22051. 22047 and 22048 would be spare.
The overall PVR would now be 175, a reduction of 8 from the current 183.
