Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
(12 Apr 2021, 4:48 pm)L469 YVK If Arriva really wanted a Stannington link, they could do this:
- X21 - Daytime journeys via Hartlands, evenings via Nedderton. Every 30 mins Mon-Sat
- X22 - Same but every 30 mins Mon-Sat
- X23 - Stannington, Nedderton, Bedlington Glebe Bank, Bedlington Front Street West then same as X21/X22. Every 30 mins Mon-Sat.
Journey time from Stannington to Newcastle would be approximately 45 mins.

It's that thinking differently, thinking long term and trying to encourage people (from whatever area, affluent or not), to make the switch.
As for services operating to/via Stannington, I'm sure there were extensions of Dinnington services that ran to Stannington.
Think the Morpeth expresses stopped due to the poor road infrastructure and high accident rate at the junctions prior to the graded improvements.
