Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
X7/X8/X9 changes as it's simply not working right now.
Arriva and NCC work in partnership for some small extensions to the X7 and X8, namely the X7 serving Tillmouth Avenue in Holywell and the X8 serving Amersham Road in Blyth
New typical board:
X7: 11:14 (BLY) -> 12:22 (NCL)
X8: 12:30 (NCL) -> 13:38 (BLY)
X7: 13:44 (BLY) -> 14:52 (NCL)
... repeat ...
or
X8: 11:29 (BLY) -> 12:37 (NCL)
X7: 12:45 (NCL) -> 13:53 (BLY)
X8: 13:59 (BLY) -> 14:07 (NCL)
... repeat ...
X9: Current times, work standalone.
X7/X8: PVR 10 (+1)
X9: PVR 5 (No Change)
I know it's an extra PVR but at least it's being used to serve some areas which have both lost their serve in recent'ish times and create some links and get the X7 and X8/X9 away from Gosforth High Street and/or South Gosforth so when ones goes tits up the other service isn't seriously impacted. Something needs done anyway as it's pretty much consistently late in recent times. There's also extra padding in the route to help them out a bit (it doesn't take 5 minutes to serve Tillmouth or Amersham).
