During peak times every 10 mins. Every 15mins off peak
Looking at the timetables, someone finishing at 1615 and needing to head north, will now need to head to Houghton.
The 35 from Rainton Bridge is at 1623.
The 38 is at 1626
The X20 is at 1633.
They have the choice of an X1 at 1625, 1635, 1645 and 1653. The first is definitely out of the question.
There is a 4 at 1628, 1643 and 1658. Realistically, the 1628 is a no go as the 35 isn't due in until 1629.
So in reality, the earliest people can expect to get away from Houghton - is just under 30 mins after finishing work. If all services are running to time.
Hopefully the rest of the journey isn't too bad and they manage to get connections at the other end.
With regard to those finishing after 2000. I hope they have a car! Genuinely sympathise with them if relying on public transport.
