Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(16 Dec 2021, 9:10 pm)OrangeArrow49 8 - does seem to be a pointless service, but could be more useful if taking a different route. Springfield Road in particular has the 808 once a day, whereas Blakelaw Road has about 7 services in total. 32 runs along Springfield Road once in the morning but isn't really established.
12 is confusing having Walker and Wallsend variations, and shorter ones to Scrogg Road. 12/13 makes sense and 13 could merge with the Nexus 13.
18 - New GNE service could replace this Walker - Four Lane Ends with some changes. Coaster 1 isn't the best with the StreetLites and Solos are fine on the 18 as its usually not that busy
22 - Byker Metro etc, 12 route to Wallsend then 22 route to Cobalt. 12 straight up Shields Road to Walker.
32/32A - Local trips require the service, but not much demand and could do with a rethink and renumber as its not much like the 30/31, 33/33A, 35, 38/38A or 39. Is the 38A commercial or secured?
Killingworth - there is the 42/42A, 53, 54, 62, 63, K1/K2 and X63. Yesterday I was getting the 42A one stop from Southgate to Killingworth Bus Station and in 10 minutes had about 5 or 6 buses ahead of the 42A.
74 - Stagecoach ran a 74 from Newcastle to Callerton at some point and I think Stagecoach having the 74 would be a good idea for a number of reasons. GNE should run the X77 as service 77.
