(15 Jun 2014, 7:18 pm)Jimmi wrote Not sure that it would be a hit, as you can get the train from Darlington which would be alot faster than a bus and I'm not sure many people in Darlington really want to go to York as people complained when Arriva had adverts on the side of their buses saying I heart York. Not sure people in York would really want to go to Darlington either. If it did get any passengers they'd probably mostly be concession passes.

Would run every 40 minutes, requiring a PVR of 2.
-A link for people using Arriva services from north of Newcastle to the Metro Centre, it would be useful for those who had purchased an Arriva day ticket for example as they would not have to purchase a ticket from a different operator therefore would be cheaper for them. Thoughts?
(12 Apr 2014, 11:55 pm)Tom wrote Here is my suggestion to improve the ''Coast and Castles'' services:
Service X14: This service would continue to connect with service 14 at Morpeth, however would only run hourly.
Service X15: A new, faster link would be introduced from Newcastle to Berwick and Alnwick. This service would omit Felton and Shillbottle to improve reliability on this service. From Alnwick to Berwick, this service would operate via it's normal route, with some timetables improvements to assist with reliability, including longer loading times at Alnwick, and a increased layover at Berwick, and Newcastle.
New Service X16: This service would operate hourly, from Newcastle to Alnwick. It would operate via Regent Centre, Stannington Village, Hepscott Village, Morpeth, Pegswood, Widdrington, Amble and Alnmouth. This would provide a increased hourly service for residents of Hepscott Village, and an improved faster link from Stannington Village to Newcastle. This would replace service X18 around Widdrington and Amble, and make the service more reliable. Combined with the X14, X15 and X18, it would provide a service between Morpeth and Newcastle every 15 minutes, albeit the X16 taking around 10 minutes longer.
Service X18: Service X18 would see significant changes to route, and timetable. To speed journeys up, service X18 would omit Widdrington, Amble and Alnmouth, which would be replaced by new service X16. This service would run via it's current route to Morpeth from Newcastle and Regent Centre, then would operate to Alnwick via the A1, Felton and Shilbottle, to replace the links previously provided on service X15. Then it would operate via it's current route from Alnwick to Berwick, but all services will serve Howick to improve links for tourists wanting to visit Howick and Dunstunburgh Castle. The timetable would be changed significantly, and be coordinated with the X14, X15 and X16 to provide a service every 15 minutes from Morpeth to Newcastle, and coordinated with the X15 and X16 to provide a service up to every 20 minutes from Alnwick to Newcastle.
Services 57A and 33 would also be affected by this change. Reliability would be improved significantly, however, 33 journeys would be slightly re-timed by 5-7 minutes. The increased layover time at Morpeth would allow the 57/57A journeys to be slightly re timed to improve reliability.
Overview:
*Faster journeys from Newcastle to Alnwick and Berwick.
*Improved reliability.
*More frequent services from Alnwick to Newcastle.
*Improved links for villages such as Howick, Hepscott and Stannington.

(03 Jul 2014, 9:19 am)V514DFT wrote I liked the 44, and it would be a good gap filler especially on the evenings,arriva have hashed up the 306 now,especially after 3 when in becomes half hourly so the 44 could be sort of a replacement of for those 2 missing buses,so would you have the 44 interwork with the 306 at haymarket?
(03 Jul 2014, 9:41 am)V514DFT wrote Thats a good idea, to be honest i dont see the point of the 52 after killy bus station it does the same route as the 53 pretty much,and for people who work on northumbrian way have no bus thats why i think the 52 should serve there now after X4/5 was axed
(16 Jul 2014, 11:14 am)ArrivaNE_7522 wrote Here's my suggestion:
Service X21 - to run to Cresswell and Ellington (1 per hour) via Cresswell Arms and Moor Estate (Seacrest Road) to give a direct link to Bedlington & Newcastle without changing at Ashington.
