1579/1580, 1584-1589 to Ashington
1537-1541 to Darlington
1433, 1439 to Durham
1/2/57/57A/X16 - PVR 14 (1 board a decker)
1574 - 1589 - 16 Buses
2852/3/4/9 - Withdrawn / reserve
Would sort out pointless microfleets all over the place.

Following the successful introduction of bus services into the park and the continued growth of those services

People who could end up being bus passengers if there was a viable alternative.
Quite why operators can't see those commercial opportunities is beyond me.
(17 Nov 2023, 9:12 pm)Storx wrote Wonder if these are commercial upgrades or whether it's Teesside Park paying for it, no doubt to try and get people using buses into the place since they complete f**ked the road layout as an understatement.Reminds me of Dalton Park 45 mins to leave the other day according to reports.
Same reason for the Stagecoach 36/37/38 being redirected in, pretty much all of Teesside has a bus now, or an easy place to connect frequently at least.

(17 Nov 2023, 10:09 pm)Andreos1 wrote Commercial upgrades or not, there seems to be utter surprise that buses are popular in a place that people have been driving to for the last 30 years.
Unsure why operators haven't seen this opportunity previously to be honest.

Was at Morpeth on Friday and saw at the rail station the bus stop lists the 436(ran by Green Mountain Travel) which was true. However the stop also showed the 43 & 2 stopping there towards Morpeth of which I can't find any information. The timetable shows April 2022. On Bustimes.org it doesn't show them stopping there nor can I find any information.
If anyone has any links to timetable changes please let me know
(20 Nov 2023, 6:49 pm)mb134 wrote Essentially NCC aren't fantastic at updating timetables.
I think the times listed for the 2 and 43 will be because they stop at "Morpeth Railway Station", but the stop called that on Shields Road rather than directly outside the station. Really there should be extra information saying that those services are from a nearby stop, rather than having people think they stop directly outside the station.
Here's a map to show the location of where the 2 and 43 stop: https://bustimes.org/map#16/55.161448/-1.682752. The railway station is just up and slightly to the right for reference.
Directions from the stop directly outside to the 2/43 stop which would take you into Morpeth: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Morpeth+...?entry=ttu
And directions from the stop directly outside to the 2/43 stop which would take you to Blyth/Cramlington & Newcastle: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Morpeth+...?entry=ttu
