(22 Apr 2023, 8:37 am)tcts24 wrote Plenty of people want to go to Hartlepool town centre, ask any pass carrying pensioner in the area between 0700 and 1800 that go there daily. Bizarrely it seems to be the highlight of they're life!This is the same in Sunderland - you get loads of people getting on and asking for a single to the town - you'll sometimes enter fawcett street with over 20-30 people on yet four is a lot of people staying on through (16 is the exception cos of the hospital), yet apparently no one goes there. If that were true, surely the 18 and 99 would be well used? Busiest I've been on the 18, I picked up 20 people in the town - the bus was nearly empty by Seaburn and I didn't have more than 5 or 6 on thereafter.
Yes every bus goes there, go to any town or city and you'll find almost all routes go to their town centre.
