(08 Mar 2015, 9:43 pm)mb134 wrote I'd suggest that if GNE built an outstation in Bedlington, it would be an ideal central location for what you suggested as it is:

  • A main part of the current Arriva X21/22 routes, and the Red Lion bus stop is an ideal location for driver changeovers 
  • A very short distance from Blyth and Cramlington, for the Blyth express services. 
  • Later 19 journeys could operate out of here
These fields could be a good location?https://www.google.com/maps/@55.1254393,-1.605862,17.24z
Or, they could change the Cobalt Clipper rotas and position the drivers through like this with an office in Blyth:

- 309 from New York to Blyth. Walk to office.
- Pick up Express frim Blyth or drive pool van to Red Lion.
- Finish back at Blyth and take the 309 back to New York ready for a driver to take it back to Shields or Verne Road.
- They could even do the same for the Coaster by extending the Gateshead runs to Blyth with drivers starting at Percy Main or North Shields towards Blyth.
