Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(08 Jan 2022, 3:31 pm)logidoodah 6/7/8 have done their job well over the years providing links between most places in Newcastle.
It is an interesting pair of routes because they essentially take people to/from the Metrocentre from most of the city as they go to West/North/NorthEast Newcastle it's also cheaper for those to sit on a bus longer than have to change to the 100 (or currently GNE or train)
For you're second point how are you going to cover the already crowding issues at peaks?
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.
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.
