All it takes is a massive delay either end for both services to be heavy delayed.

X36 on a half hourly frequency on its own would require 5 buses with one parked up in Park Lane for nearly half an hour while on the present timetable the X35 would either get no turn-around time in Sunderland or you'd have to add a seventh bus into the cycle and end up with a bus laying over in Sunderland for half an hour.

(20 May 2014, 6:26 pm)cbma06 wrote Many times that l have seen service X36 going over the Wearmouth bridge going to Sunderland Interchange at 05 and 35, this is 5 minutes over the time when the bus is supposed of left Sunderland Interchange as a X35, having the bus doing another route at the destination with a delay has a knock on effect on the second bus service, theres still plenty of passengers complaining because the X35 is delayed up towards 30 minutes at Doxford Park.
(20 May 2014, 6:30 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Again, they get a 22 minutes layover in Park Lane between arriving on the X36 and departing on the X35. What bit of that do you not get!?
(20 May 2014, 6:35 pm)cbma06 wrote yes normally their get 22 minutes layover, but not when their arrive at Interchange over 27 minutes late, as i mentioned seeing the X36 going over Wearmouth Bridge at 5 past the hour when the bus should of left Sunderland Interchange on the hour!.
(20 May 2014, 6:40 pm)cbma06 wrote I was on the X36, with the next bus 5 minutes behind it
the bus was late by 27 minutes

This must be it.

Another thought I have had is to Allocate the Solar Fusions/Articulated Citaros onto Metro Replacement Service 900, Operating from Heworth Metro to Newcastle Haymarket via Felling - Gateshead Stadium - Gateshead Interchange and Central Station, to help aid Increased Passenger Numbers, this would also ease the Strain on the 27.

(22 May 2014, 3:42 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote Riverside have
x3 Palatine 2's
x1 Gemini (3964)
x14 Vykings
x5 Presidents
Total = 23 Deckers
To Replace
x4 Citaro Artic
x4 Solar Fusions
x14 Citaros
Total = 22 Vehicles
So in reality my Plan is actually doable, I can see a few Independents Operating also, could be good day for Photos if the Strike does go Ahead.

Would there be some other coaches or buses working as extras like the tube strike in London?
