(22 Oct 2013, 11:20 am)Greg in Weardale wrote It's another of these invisible consultations as they don't want results which won't agree with what they've already decided to do. What is appalling is that the consultation form, which I had to hunt around for, doesn't mention that the X3 is presumably going to be killed off (vehicles used on short 9's and extra X36) having been cut to hourly ONLY 5 MONTHS AGO. Even since those recent changes each time I've used it recently there have been good loadings from Newcastle and Gateshead to East Boldon and Fulwell (as well as to Sunderland who could obviously use X36) so it'll be these people who are deprived of a through bus to Newcastle. And in my more limited use of X36 it's intermediate loadings are lower than those of X3.
Speaking of the x36, the one I saw arriving into Newcastle had 2 people on.
Curious to see the PR spin to see how many forms have been distributed and returned after the shambles that was the Coaster consultation.
Haven't been home much over the last week, but yet to get my Connecections 4 timetable that was promised to houses on route.
250yds from a bus stop obviously doesn't class as on route.
Will give them a few days to get it sorted, so will keep an open mind until then.
