Nah seriously, no offence taken mate...
You fairly picked that apart lol...
I reckoned my X78 would take a similar amount of time than the 78 if it ran express between Consett-Chester and express between Houghton-Dalton Park with the rest of the journey being along the A19...
When I get a new computer I am going to try and knock up some timetables for my suggested journeys...
One thing that should be done at Dalton Park is create better links on to the site, I dunno move the bus stop further up and create a new entrance for buses at the top near Maccy D's, Murton buses could use it as a bus only link and drive straight through without using the bus turning circle
Thanks for your input anyway pal
Their supposed to be making a new south entrance on Dalton park from the murton bypass road, since the new entrance wasn't included in the plans for phase 2, then it probably be in the plans for phase 3. even though the un opened road section from the A19 to along south side of Dalton park is already been tarmac for a long time and barried off.
yes their could run the buses straight through next to Mc Donalds onto Mathews Road, but that may open a can of worms, and cause more traffic problems for the local residents in that area with other vehicles coming in and out of that exit, and theirs only a T junction to get back onto the main road. Is their any bus services still goes down Mathews Road behind Dalton park?.
to make a bus link onto Mathews road, it will probably cost about 50K for 2 white collar workers from the council to come out and shake their heads at each over and rub their own chins, and the cost of opening up the junction, realigning the curbs, marking the road, purchasing and installing a barrier or raised bollard, and also price of labour, and health and safety gone mad which will run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
