I've used the X21 on a few Sunday's recently and it's been pretty busy, certainly busy enough to justify an increased frequency over both services.
A while back, I made a suggestion to bring back something similar to the old X31 / X32 and X33 services. Now, I know the X21 and X22 has proved popular so what I've done, is broke down the current X21 / X22 into three new routes that run every 30 minutes each (60 evenings and Sundays) with new connections and combined frequencies between Newbiggin, Ashington and Newcastle. Here we go:
- Service X31 operating every 30 minutes (60 evenings and Sundays serving: Seacrest Road - Wansbeck Hospital (Mon to Sat daytime) - North Seaton Fairfield Drive (evenings and Sundays) - Ashington Bus Station then current X21 route to Newcastle.
- Service X32 operating every 30 minutes (60 evenings and Sundays) serving: Cresswell Arms - Wansbeck Hospital - Ashington Bus Station then current X21 route to Bedlington Front Street / Red Lion then current X22 route from there to Newcastle.
- Service X33 operating every 30 minutes (60 evenings and Sundays) serving: North Seaton Fairfield Drive (Mon to Sat daytime) - Ashington Bus Station then current X22 route from there to Newcastle.
Have a look at the timetable and see what you guys think. Please note that it's not a full one and it's just for the purpose of timings and PVR calculations:
