And even if they did extend the 17 to Ashington, I'm sure the route would start to creep into EU driving hours for the distrance. To be honest the only changes that would be any use for the 17 is to extend it to the new Cramlington Hospital, okay it would need an extra bus, but it would have a longer layover, or even better extend it down the road and terminate it at Seaton Deleval Avenue Head if there is too much layover time at the hospital.
I agree Gary, I'm not from the area but how long will it take from Cramlington to the New Cramlington Hospital?
