I agree with all this (above quoted post), X15 etc has more often than not been close to time most of the times I've used it but of course there is some instances where this isn't the case for whatever reasons. Will additionally add that his route suggestion to Newcastle is similar to the old 44 that carried very few passengers between Morpeth and Dinnington. Would also dread to think how much it would cost to run one of those Versa's to Newcastle and back and how would the 470/473 run if one of the buses for the service is heading to/from Newcastle?
With regards to promotion of their services, considering they set up a Facebook page and suddenly deleted it says it all... So good luck at any sense of promotion.
Just been on PCLs website and the M1 timetable which is a Nexus one has been cut and edited and now indicates that there is now only an M1 Monday to Fridays departing Morpeth for Thropton at 10am, all other journeys have seemingly being dropped all of a sudden including the diverted Wednesday service and Sunday service to the Metrocentre, however I see no changes registered on VOSA since November 2017 and the Sunday M1 registration is still 'registered' which sounds fishy but let us not forget the 79 to Kingston Park or wherever it went and seemingly morphed into a circular around the Morpeth area but timetables didn't reflect that change. All other timetable sources still indicate the timetable is as it was from November 2017.
Maybe if PCL did what Glen Valley did, which was run the 473 to Wooler but return to Alnwick as the 470. Also interwork with the 15 if they changed the timetable...
