(04 Jan 2022, 8:59 pm)L469 YVK wrote To be honest, most of Jesmond's "big bus" work could be done out of Blyth with perhaps a bait room at Manor Walks for some of the Cramlington services.I am really surprised that SNE have not already taken over the 685 Arriva trips to be honest. I don't see what Arriva get out of it. They have zero presence in Carlisle and not very big in the Newcastle area. Wheras Stagecoach are the main operator at both ends! Surely a bigger customer base?
- 306 - Interwork with 308
- 43 - Fine
- 44/45 - Interwork with 43 but with more running time than previous
- 54 - Interwork with 52 (as is)
- 52/53 - Both fine
685 would be a funny one? Could either keep or do a "route deal" with either SNW, SNE or GNE.
What could GNE or SNE/SNW give Arriva in return for the 685?
- GNE: North Tyneside minibus network (would only leave PM with a PVR of 27x)
- SNE: Ponteland 'X' routes (would need relief)
