(21 Jul 2015, 8:25 pm)Tom wrote I thought it would be half hourly between Newcastle and Stanley because it says 'the route and frequency between Stanley and Durham and would remain unchanged'. And also mentions the fast buses between Newcastle and Stanley?
Also it says the key destinations would be connected by a half hourly service.
I imagine it would work like it does now. 44 at 15 mins past and 44A at 45 mins past (just an example!). Then that's your 30 minute service with the Tanfield Lea section being covered by the X43 which will have its frequency increased to every 30 minutes from hourly - there's your current 15 minute service between Stanley and Metrocentre (although X43 and 44/44A don't really follow eachother). Mind you, if the X43 is timetabled to stop at anymore places (including the proposed stopping at all stops along Fellside Road), it may aswell just be renumbered the 43.
