Coming up the A19 on Bank Holiday Monday (30th Aug), I witnessed how bad it was. Even running extra buses won’t deter car users, as most GNE or ANE services go around too many houses.
Dalton Park should have had an entrance and exit straight into Murton at Dalton Terrace up from East Moor Estate. That way there would be at least two way traffic through, buses heading out of Murton would go in at Dalton Terrace and out the current entrance/exit and vice versa. You’d then be able to turn the bus turning circle into a second stand for West and North bound services. The current bus stop just for East and South bound services. And at least it would also split where other traffic came from, cars coming from Durham, Hetton and Murton itself would avoid the current roundabout.
With regards to services going around the houses, I’m inclined to agree that’s why I’m somewhat pleasantly surprised about the 62 been so busy according to a few posters on here. It’s not exactly very quick to anywhere really!
