Reroute one of the following journeys via South Stanley as opposed to South Moor:
- 16A departing Flint Hill at 07:34 (calling at South Moor at 07:57)
- 816 departing Burnopfield at 07:47 (calling at South Moor at 08:12)
- 16A departing Stanley at 08:15 (calling at South Moor at 08:19)
As you can see, on a school day, South Moor has 3 buses to Durham in a space of 22 minutes compared to the 16 which only has 1 bus in 30 minutes (07:01 departure from Castleside arriving at South Stanley at 08:07).
I have witnessed the 16 journey mentioned almost every school day since October and it is regularly full or almsot by the time it gets to South Stanley causing people who board at that stop to have to stand. This journey is only allocated a branded Citaro (and has been allocated Venture Solos in the past) while the first two of the above journeys are allocated double deckers. I just think it would be fairer if South Stanley could gain a second journey that would normally go via South Moor. I suppose my suggestion can be further backed up by saying that the extra 44 on a morning prior to October was allocated a double decker.
