Brilliant.
It still doesn't alter the fact there's a comparable drop in frequency between the 20a and X20 though.
Even if you include the 35, you've the 36 being cancelled and the 71 not going along Dairy Lane.
So still, a comparable drop in frequency.
Fewer seats ph, fewer vehicles ph.
Now:
* 4 - 6ph.
* 20a/x20 - 3ph
* 36 - 2ph
Total 11 buses ph, using a mix of full size and midi.
Buses to Durham, South Shields, Chester, Heworth and Castletown.
Future:
* 4 - 6ph
* X20 - 2ph
* 35 - 2ph
Total 10 buses ph, using a mix of full size and mini.
Buses to Durham, Sunderland, Boldon Cinema, Heworth and Low Moorsley.
