Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
I think it's the dead mileage that put Arriva off trampling on SC/GNE territory, when it's possible their services may not be successful.
That said, it's interesting having Grangetown as a terminus and I'd like to see Arriva expand further into Sunderland. I know Stagecoach's 10 terminates at Grangetown, but this is at the Queen Alexandra public house rather than the small off-shot bus road thing, where I assume your proposed 101 service would terminate.
If that stop at Grangetown wasn't so narrow, it would be great to see it put to more use - but is there enough custom in the area for direct buses rather than having to have one or two swaps?
