Go North East: Service Suggestions
(22 Jul 2014, 7:06 pm)col87 I would like to see a service from Hartlepool to Newcastle again after all GNE had two off them at one point so how about something like the old X5 so Hartlepool- Blackhall- Horden then X35 route to Easington then none stop to Washington Galleries - Gateshead - Newcastle. I think if advertised properly an hourly service could work

(22 Jul 2014, 7:16 pm)NEBCD Malarkey That would be a right marxistafozzskimarathon
If I was living in Hartlepool, I would much rather have the X5 Back, than having to get on the X35/X36 just get from Hartlepool to Newcastle.

(22 Jul 2014, 7:23 pm)marxistafozzski Lol Adam...
It would be a bit of a Marathon, but it could be done in under 2 hours...Down the coast missing Peterlee would take less than an hour and if it was express all the way, valuable minutes could be shaved off...Pygalls claimed to do it in 50 minutes, I bet GNE could as well, if not maybe 45 from Sunderland

(22 Jul 2014, 8:17 pm)Andreos Constantopolous There isn't much in the way of ongoing connections with that.
If say they started in Peterlee and alternated with the x7 through Wingate, then there could be added tie-ins, particularly with the company pushing the buzzfare tickets.
If you don't, then it could be a repeat of Bishop Auckland all over again.

(22 Jul 2014, 8:19 pm)Tom I can't believe how popular the X7 has been actually!
(22 Jul 2014, 8:24 pm)col87 Perheaps not but it gives Stagecoach competation and people in Hartlepool a much needed service to north Tees Hospital

As I originally suggested the Sunderland - Middlesbrough express service to Go North East, leading to the formation of the X7, I'm always going to boast about how well it is actually performing (and you lot will never hear the end of it). I know a number of GNE employees have referred to the service as my 'baby', as I'm always monitoring the passenger numbers and asking how well the service is doing.
Go North East have plenty of connections in Sunderland, Seaham and Peterlee to assist the service - Arriva didn't have that with their 31A service which ran a similar route.
Whilst the single fares are more expensive than Arriva's on the 21A, the X7 still seems to be carrying more passengers - so they're doing something right..!
Next step: Retro-fit the Mercs with Wi-Fi? Yes please - watch this space...
