Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(14 Apr 2017, 2:09 pm)James101 Not a positive suggestion here, but based on the most recent network changes in the northern half of the division - some predictions for Hartlepool.
Service 1
Reduced to every 15 minutes between High Tunstall - Seaton Carew. Half hourly extensions to Middlesbrough retained.
Service 3/4
Service 4 withdrawn.
Service 3 extended from Bluebell Way in Bishop Cuthbert to terminate in a loop of Clavering estate, as per service 4 currently, every 30 minutes.
This retains links from Clavering to Marina and South Hartlepool.
Passengers from King Oswy and Brus areas can use Arriva or GNE services to Marina or Stagecoach service 6 to town and South Hartlepool.
New service 3A replaces service 4 between South Fens and Marina, maintaining 15 minute frequency between South Fens & Town Centre/Marina.
Service 6
Reduced to every 15 minutes along the full length of the route. Times co-ordinated with 36 between Town Centre and Rossmere to have 7/8 minutes frequency along shared sections.
Service 7
Reduced to every 15 minutes along the full length of the route. Continues to interwork with service 6 at Owton Manor to provide 8 buses per hour to Town.
With rough working out, I think this reduces the PVR at Hartlepool to 25, taking around 10 buses off the road. At this point, it would be likely Hartlepool effectively becomes an outstation of Stockton, though I think they already share managers, spare drivers etc.
