Maybe 1 an hour is enough. You have the metro and x36. Scrapped the x3 as no one used it so what's the reason for the 35. Should of kept it running to shields. I reckon it may get curtailed at Sunderland before Branding even appears. Maybe axe 33 33a and put the35 back in Silksworth
It's a Sunday, NEXUS fund it to Heworth but maybe, have it half hourly to Boldon Cinema and then Hourly to Heworth, if passenger numbers aren't to good to Heworth, then they can use some funding for a different service.
Numbers are decent during the week, hence why the frequency increased to every 15 mins and the 33/33A was introduced, although people still rather get on the Stagecoach 12, seen a lot of people let the 33/33A go and get on the 12.
X3 wasn't doing good because it followed the metro...... they got told... use or it goes.
