Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
(25 Apr 2021, 10:49 pm)Storx Just curious but what's exactly better about the Post 2015 services vs the Pre 2015 services as from a passenger point of view they're considerably worse. Just to list a few:But there wouldn't be any 'major' cuts as such for Northumberland. The number of Ashington - Newcastle services would only drop by 1x journey per hour.Benefits.
- Pre 2015, 5 buses an hour from South Moor to Newcastle. Now 0.
- Pre 2015, 2 buses an hour from Lanchester to Newcastle. Now 0.
- Pre 2015, 2 buses an hour from Burnopfield to Durham. Now 0.
- Pre 2015, Tanfield has buses to Newcastle during the day and buses to Durham. Now it has buses to Newcastle at night only and none to Durham
- Pre 2015, Hobson had an all day 30 minute bus service to Durham and Newcastle. Now it has the token 6.
- Pre 2015, South Moor and the rest of the 16/16A South 4 buses an hour to the Metro Centre. Now 0.
- The X31 extension to Consett also didn't replace the 6 as it was already there in the first place going to Lanchester.
Other than that I'm struggling and idc about lining shareholders pockets with PVR decreases. Changes are a pain in the arse but they can get away with it Derwentside though as there's no competition. Doesn't work too well when there is competition though Stagecoach 22 and GNE 305/40/41 springing to mind.
- If you live in North Stanley or in a farm between Sunniside and Stanley you've got 4 buses an hour instead of 2.
- X30 evening and Sunday services but not sure losing all of the above is enough for that.
