(18 Nov 2014, 11:12 pm)Washingtonian Thanks for that. Never realised that people were complaining about Wrekenton bus link not being served initially. Yeah it shouldn't be a problem for the proposed 23A/C to still serve Wrekenton. I mainly suggested to omit it as there are loads of buses that currently serve it and it was just a short walk away from the shops anyway. Plus it would have cut out waiting at the lights and made the service a little more direct.
The plan was to initially run both 23A/C hourly and if it proved popular to increase to every 30 mins. It may prove to be popular when the new Morrisions opens.

(19 Nov 2014, 5:23 pm)gtom So a reduction in frequency by removing those short runs? I'm sure some mouthy councillor will be straight on the phone!
It'd be interesting to see if Morrisons (Easter 2015) opening will reduce traffic out of Birtley to Wrekenton and Galleries and increase traffic into Birtley as Morrisons is a fairly lower cost supermarket compared to Co-Op at Wreketon.
The 23 used to omit the bus link but the lack of shelter and confusion as to where to board the bus contributed to the changes. It's a bit like the 21 stopping on Percy Street when everything else goes to Eldon Square

My biggest concern about the new Morrisons, is whether or not the little trolley man who was there from the days of Presto transfers back in an emotional homecoming.
He has been at Chester Morrisons for a few years now and I for one, would love to see him back on his old stomping ground.
Why dont they change 689 to x15 and oporate it sunday interworking with 15
Ideias here they could have a x55 between seaburn morrisons and boldon asda making the 558 every 30 minutes use iether 635 or 636 and put 1 on 38 to interwork with 38c
Another ideia s1 is always busy so take 8266 off put frequency every 7/8minutes put 618/619 on

I'm not sure who you mean but he will probably want to stay at Chester Morrisons as there will be less trolleys for him to collect there

Going for a Malarkey marathon!!!Problem with this is that the 61 currently operates as a circular service through Murton so how could much of the current route would still be served (I'm not familiar with the 61 route) also I'm not sure there is much call for a 15 minute service to Durham from these areas, perhaps it could run as the 61 via the current 61 route every 30 minutes and run to Durham as the 61A every 30 minutes giving a combined 15 minute frequency on the Sunderland to Dalton Park section of the route.
