Especially when they withdrew the 44 from Hazelrigg to Whitley Bay. If there was any excuse not yo use the bus and use the car then this was it. Every bus that has served Marden since has been useless taking the best part of an hour or more to get to Newcastle. No we don't want Battle Hill or Cobalt or to go via Tynemouth and North Shields first before a slow dawdle up the coast road.
Yes, but that doesn’t suit the agenda here. It seems that Andreos1 would prefer to focus on the negatives of Go North East (nobody is denying the service reductions over the years being negative) and ignore that Arriva and Stagecoach are both guilty of doing the same, just without the same marketing (sorry, titivating) efforts going alongside it.
I made the point about Stagecoach carving up the Sunderland network time and time again yesterday, and that was disregarded too, as it doesn’t suit the agenda.
