Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
(26 Feb 2020, 12:25 am)Storx Mentioning this it's something I've never understand about the Arriva services from Newcastle and Blyth / Cramlington is the fact they all run at the same time. I'd change it to something like.Although the suggestion with the 43/X10/X11 is wise, from a marketing POV, I would just stick with offering as late of a service as possible.
Old times in brackets.
43: XX:00 (XX:05)
X7: XX:05 (XX:07)
X11: XX:15 (XX:10)
308: XX:25 (XX:12)
43: XX:30 (XX:35)
X8: XX:35 (XX:37)
X10: XX:45 (XX:40)
308: XX:55 (XX:42)
With new last journeys of:
X8: 22:35 (22:37)
X7: 23:05 (23:07)
X10: 22:45 (22:40)
X11: 23:15 (23:10)
308: 23:25 (23:12)
43: 23:00 (23:05)
For the record the 306 would be XX:10 and XX:40 (Last bus 23:40) and the X21/X22 XX:20 and XX:50 (Last bus 23:20).
It just makes more sense as now you have a 15 minute service to Cramlington and a 10 minute service to Blyth even known some are a bit slower but at night you don't care especially in Haymarket. Plus you give a slightly later bus for the 308 and X10 compared to now with the maximum of 5 minutes lost off any last bus.
