Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(07 Jan 2022, 10:27 pm)Storx As someone said the 6/7/8 is pretty much two routes in one so might aswell split it and create some actual useful links:6/7/8 have done their job well over the years providing links between most places in Newcastle.
The PVR should be decreased if I'm right or close since the 6/7/8 is dropped from every 20 minutes to 30 minutes throughout.
(07 Jan 2022, 11:38 pm)Michael You got any ideas of what kind of changes Stagecoach can do in Sunderland?I'd make the the E1/E2/E6/X24/X24A terminate at Park Lane to provide links with the corresponding GNE services such as 20 (for the E's) and the 56 (for the X24/X24A) plus the metro. There are currently a few empty stands so stand R the E's could go to as it's next to the 20 to S.Shields. And the X24 could go the same stand as the 56.

Maybe bring the 61 back instead?Yes they do get VERY BUSY especially at peaks they loads get on/off in city centre as that's essentially 2 separate travel corridors with quite a few people going accross 'the boundary' of the city centre. And I would bring the 64 back between West Denton and Four Lane Ends even as a single decker as anything that could relieve these routes would be good.
