Suggesting that Seaham should have a direct link to North Shields and Consett aren't really going to happen or that Washington should have a direct link to Middlesbrough and Darlington. Think who's going to go on these services? Does anyone really want to travel that far by bus? Do people miss not having such service? I'm not suggesting that everyone's going to agree that every suggestion is good one but there are so many totally out of this world suggestions that are just laughable.
I agree. Similar posts have appeared frequently over the past few weeks, and I think we should start to think before we post.
Living in Sunderland, I would love to see direct services between Sunderland and everywhere currently served in the Go North East network by other services, but it will never happen. I think others contributing to this thread may be thinking about what they'd like to see without considering whether the services would actually be justifiable.
I'm surprised we haven't seen a service suggestion for a direct service from Fencehouses to Darlington or Fencehouses to Morpeth yet!
I love the suggestions we've had that have considered availability of vehicles (or upcoming availability of vehicles - think of all the new buses coming to the fleet soon and the movements that will come of these vehicles) or the suggestions that have included rough timetables, PVRs etc. It shows that some thought has gone into the suggestion, rather than just a quick post with the suggestion.
