I would like to put a mix into this
Re-instate the 311 service (Newcastle to Hadrian Park )
However ensure this service operates via Wiltshire Drive
This ensures that additional resources can be placed on this service for match days create a non stop service if required for other services when busy etc
If a bus isn't running the 311 could say and told to stop at every stop the 307 isn't running but from Hadrian Park to North Shields I will continue with a "through ticket"
I stipulate Wiltshire Drive for a reason
51 on an evening has very low numbers that secured service could be deployed elsewhere funding wise the link needs to change on an evening it follows a "coast road agreement bus"
Adding Wiltshire into the loop is approx 3min tops if you look at the timetable
I would far rather see a 311 service withdrawn and another bus incorporate a 3min loop as a diversion than a service not operating at all
The issue is not about buses it's drivers driving buses
If you want another cat in the pigeon I think I the 41A as a nexus secured service should go from Hadrian Park go Newcastle via Wallsend Byker but that's a different debate
No No No No No. No more 311. That service was a complete waste of time. Litral the 310 but with Hadrian Park as its terminal. I was so glad they withdrawn that route. 307 is a lot simpler. We don't need the 22 to Hadrian Park. It makes no sense and it's getting annoying hearing about it. Same with the Wiltshire Drive talks
