Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
Stagecoach North East: Service Suggestions
(11 Jan 2015, 1:03 pm)Dan As much as I would like to see the Stagecoach Gold brand implemented in the North East, I don't think the X34 is that good a performer to justify being the first route in the North East to be converted to this specification...
Outside of peak times, from what I have seen, the X34 often carries very few people (and those who are on-board are typically older people rather than adult single/return fares). Of course, during peak times and at Christmas, completely different story...

(11 Jan 2015, 3:44 pm)idiot Would it take much work to create a connection between the e1 or e2 onto the x34? I would use the bus over the metro any day of the week personally

Stagecoach Gold

Like Malarkey, I rarely appear in the Stagecoach part of the forum, but here goes;
Service X34 - Follows current route all the way to Horsley Hill, but extended non-stop to South Shields, allowing something of an express between Newcastle and South Shields. Although obviously nothing in terms of speed in comparison to the Tyne and Wear Metro.
Service X35 - Newcastle Blackett Street, Gateshead Interchange, Heworth Metro - then non-stop to Sunderland, Park Lane. Again, a lot slower than the Tyne and Wear Metro.
Just some ideas, obviously being a rare Stagecoach user, I don't know if these would be viable.
(30 Mar 2015, 11:30 am)Andreos1 More than likely.
First have Edinburgh to Gala services too.
How successful it will be once the railway re-opens, is another matter.

(30 Mar 2015, 11:39 am)roar Always fancied doing the First X95 from Edinburgh to Carlisle via Galashiels but looks like it could be painful with the wrong vehicle or passenger's aboard.

(30 Mar 2015, 11:40 am)MarcTheA4 Must admit, when I've been thinking of doing cross-country stuff in the future - that X95 service appealed to me at first.
But then when I saw it had Enviros on, and appeared to be quite a busy service...maybe not!

Some new suggestions for Sunderland:
5/5A – Extend from Doxford to Doxford International – Every 30 minutes (Hourly Sunday)
12 - South Hylton - Sunderland - Silksworth (replaces the 8 – Extends from Sunderland to South Hylton – however the 12 will only go to South Hylton, Half hourly, Same frequency as currently) or drop it down to every 15 mins along full route)
23 – Extend from Dene Estate to Seaburn during the week, Sundays will be same as now (when work is completed)
