(12 Apr 2018, 4:36 pm)N1cholas It would be good for it to serve boldon cinema but the only problem this would have is it would take away the ability to divert the x9/10 off the A19 due to bad delays, especially around testo's roundabout, which will get worse once the major project starts later this year/start of next year to create a flyover

(12 Apr 2018, 7:17 pm)Adrian I don't see why it would need to serve Boldon Cinema? It would only increase a journey time that is long enough, now that some detour into Dalton Park.

Tynedale Links 74 increased frequency to every 2 hours instead of every 3.
New service 75, Newcastle Airport - Kingston Park - Cowgate - Newcastle Blackett Street - Killingworth
Crusader express to compete with the Metro.

That could work but GNE would have to have cheaper price to to get people to switch.
However H1 could change into Express still serving South Tyneside Hospital as town centres only/near metro station and GNE will need to provide Double Deckers for it to cope.

Could the 74 operate more frequently? I have been on a few trips on the 74 now, and it looks to be reasonably popular.
(21 Apr 2018, 10:26 am)Andreos1 53/54 to merge with the 29.
Haven't quite been able to work out the best way of doing it yet.
Feel free to offer help or advice.

I fixed the 9 in the evenings.
This is before:
This is after:
This means there's only one journey with no proper connection (arriving sunderland from Murton at 18:27)
Streetlites did enter service at 18:36, 18:41 19:06, 19:36, 20:06
Streetlites now enter service at 17:44, 18:15, 19:19, 19:47, 20:11
If streetlites aren't avaliable at the earlier times then it would mean only 3 halves depart before the other arrives at Sunderland. I don't know when the Streetlites are available in depth to draw conclusions, but I think this would make the timetable more sensible. A key to show a connection isn't guaranteed would be useful but hopefully is clear enough.

Could this service not go on through Tyne tunnel to jarrow and South Shields.this would open a new transport area from south Tyneside into Northumberland without having to travel to Newcastle .

(23 May 2018, 10:50 am)cbma06 X4 been done before and didn’t work out.
Service 60 should extend to South Shields on 10 minute service and terminate the 20 at Sunderland.
Keep the x6/x7 via burdon road as it quick access to the city centre than hiking all the way from the interchange.
