Stagecoach altered their timetable for service 16 on evenings to make an attempt to accommodate for delays, and it did absolutely no good whatsoever as you still see them running around the Southwick area at 1700 onwards in twos and threes.
This issue has been ongoing for years, and only the council can sort the issue by adding extra lanes or improving the roundabout at the bottom of the bank. There have been numerous proposals over the years but nothing has ever come of it, much to the annoyance of many (even those in Washington, Silksworth, Southwick etc who rely on cross-city bus services). There isn't anything operators can do as the traffic at this hour on Chester Road is completely unpredictable: Stagecoach's failed attempt at improving the evening 16 bus service is clear evidence of this.

Sure if a few of us made complaint to our Local Councilors regarding this issue along with the Bus Operators then something would be done.

Stood on a housing estate for a good 10 minutes before a GNE President showed up on the 901. Took us as far as Heworth, then a queue of around 100+ people waiting for another 10 minutes before I am treated to yet another red B7. Finally in Newcastle now, 12:30...........
