Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
(15 Jul 2023, 9:29 pm)mb134 Capacity also needs looked at on the 57. I've heard multiple reports recently of Solos heading to Cramlington from Ashington/Bedlington with standing loads, and I don't even believe that's usually considered the strongest section of the route?
I'd look at extending the 57A fully to Ashington, if resource allowed, to provide a combined 30 minute frequency between Ashington and Cramlington. I believe, if you cut down the layover at Ashington to 4 minutes, it would be doable with just one extra bus, as follows:
57:
Ashington dep 09:02
Whitley arr 10:10
57A:
Whitley dep: 10:15
Ashington arr: 11:28
57A:
Ashington dep: 11:32
Whitley arr: 12:45
57:
Whitley dep: 12:50
Ashington arr: 13:58
