88A south shields - town hall - horsley hill - harton nook - south Tyneside hospital - Brockley Whins - jarrow
These services need changing to improve reliability,service 516 tends to be late every day due to traffic.
From this the 516 would require a pvr of 2
Then anotjer bus to south tyne
516 cannot be changed by GNE I believe due to it being a Nexus Tender, Correct me if I'm wrong though.
I agree with your point on changing the 88/88A, Reliability is pretty bad these days, Though what will replace the Jarrow - Lukes Lane section? What's the frequency? and is a PVR of now 10 going to be needed for just the Shields to Jarrow Section?
Sorry for the amount of questions, I'm just intrigued.
