And to follow on from that......
Here is the prosed X17 timetable - the PVR would be 2
(07 Sep 2014, 7:21 pm)mb134 Operated by MPD's?
(07 Sep 2014, 7:24 pm)Tom Nice work. Sounds good to me!
The look very professional.
(07 Sep 2014, 5:19 pm)Kuyoyo To follow up on this post from the 'Latest' thread:
I have looked at theoretically extending the 20 to Alnwick. In short, to allow that, you will also notice the X20 frequency increase to every 30 minutes.
The service would require 6 buses - one of which, to save on light mileage, would more than likely join the X15 and X18 at the outstation at Rothbury Motors' Alnwick depot.

(08 Sep 2014, 7:11 am)Tom He wouldn't need to - because the X18 would operate via Felton and Shilbottle as a result.
(08 Sep 2014, 8:27 am)Kuyoyo No, I don't plan to re-route the X18 as a result of extending the 20 to Alnwick - or do Pegswood and Widdrington not justify a service to Alnwick

(07 Sep 2014, 11:08 pm)Kuyoyo That will be amended tomorrow - once I've worked out the best way to do so.

(07 Sep 2014, 10:14 am)Tom However, the 1 was very late from Ashington, and sadly it was those horrid ALX200's. I really think something needs to be done to improve the reliability on the 1, and possibly some bigger buses as there was standees from Bedlington to Blyth. The 2, however was on time, it some bigger buses also. Maybe it could be jointly operated by Ashington and Blyth, with them interworking at Blyth to allow a longer was 1773, and was quite overcrowded so possibly it could do with layover.
And, as another one, from an issue raised yesterday as well:

(08 Sep 2014, 2:24 pm)Kuyoyo And, as another one, from an issue raised yesterday as well:
In a bid to improve reliability on the 1 and additionally to allow extra journeys to run on the X20, the Ashington-Widdrington Estate secition of the 1 would instead link onto the 'new' X20 trips as the 20A.

(08 Sep 2014, 2:47 pm)Tom So the 1 would operate between Wansbeck Hospital and Blyth only?
Also, the X17 could be scrapped as a result.

(08 Sep 2014, 2:49 pm)Kuyoyo No, X17 would still run to provide the Estate with a direct service to Morpeth and Newcastle (and retain the 15 minutely Newcastle-Morpeth frequency).
And yes, the 1 would as a result only run between Wansbeck Hospital and Blyth.

(08 Sep 2014, 2:54 pm)Tom Oh right. Maybe the 1 could be partly operated by Ashington and partly by Blyth so the reliability can be improved (interworking with the 2).
Also, are you sending them to Arriva?
