(23 Feb 2023, 10:07 am)Storx wrote Personally can't see the 6/X21, the 6 is a much stronger route than the X21 between the two points so Arriva won't gain anything similar with the X12/X21 or 21.
It's some of the urban corridors especially in Sunderland that need it more.
Chester Road (2/8/16/35/39/78)
City Centre -> Seaham Grange / Dalton (22/23/60/61)
City Centre -> Pennywell (20/39)
Great North Road (Q3/43/44/45)
By far the worst corridors in the North East.
Similar with
Yellow Line Metro / 1
Yellow Line Metro / 26 / 27
They compliment each other but decent ticketing does not exist.
Don't all the arriva " x" service observe the stops along the GN Road? My mate sometimes gets the x21 to brunton when the 44 doesn't turn up and walk to hazlerigg from there?
