Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(23 Dec 2023, 8:45 am)Aaron21 Let me remind you on some of these
22 has been going to Cobalt since 2015 and had nothing to do with the 1
With funding from Cobalt, no brainer for Stagecoach and has actually taken passengers off the 1, with the 1 being reduced to every 20 minutes and back to single deckers. Also ended the 42/42A.
37 went to Cramlington to offer a every 30 minute service and to actually follow the old 52 route and run an evening and Sunday service (non of which the 352 provided)
Well there you have it. GNE went in with a lower frequency albeit a slightly different route and Stagecoach bettered it. Asides, Burradon to Cramlington is also covered by Arriva's X8.
38 went to Forest Hall due to the fact gne came up with the idea to complete miss out the 355 to not serve Four Lane Ends so nobody in Forest Hall/Meadway Estate had a link to Four Lane Ends anymore
Exactly that, 38 has replaced the old 55 mostly like for like excluding Matthews Bank and opened up new links too.
317 is just a stupid idea to bring up since it's the withdrawal Go North East 11 which follow the exact same route. Arriva could have took it over and still would have no relevance to what your saying. Its the old GNE 11 and Stagecoach won it as the 317
Actually also covers the old 41/41A too. Stagecoach made a good go with the 317 and have provided decent vehicles and marketing for the service. I'd imagine would just be above break even Monday to Saturday if ran on a commercial basis.
If anyone was to argue the Hadrian Park idea, it would instead be an extension of the 22 but heading towards the Coast, effectively wiping out the 1. But that would mean extra vehicles and risk unless GNE ever threw the towel in at Percy Main, ..........which could be a possibity if a successful ZEBRA bid was made for the Coast Road Corridor > meaning a move to Riverside as I doubt GNE could get the infrastructure in place at Percy Main.
