The diversion via Bridge on the Aln only seems to add 2-5 minutes onto the journey, of which is usually gained back with the slack timetable...The Wooler services already operate up that road with full size Versas!
Only one road closure and one set of temporary traffic lights on the diversion...too!
The early running was in Alnwick heading to Rothbury on Tuesday, and also on the M1 service, of which @SouthTyneLad can back me up on too. Again, the 15 left Rothbury for Alnwick yesterday a few minutes early, as I got to Cragside at 1556, and not 1600....
My mother says she made a direct complaint to PCL, of which they haven't yet got back to her.
It was the council I sent an email and Peter had got back to the council straight way about the service to clarify the early running of services and other things about how the roadworks and undermining his attempts to operate a good service (I think it is a bit more than that in all fairness) -so it isn’t dodgy as the information has come from the council about requesting the use of a van.
