Not sure how that’ll work in Murton as currently the 61 - which is already proposed to drop to half hourly in frequency - does a one way loop of Murton to/from Woods Terrace via Knaresbrough Road-Station Estate-Webb Avenue-Truro Avenue. It’ll be interesting to see the timetable but I fear areas such as Truro Avenue and Knaresbrough Road may end up with one bus per hour, instead of the 3 they have now.
Terrace - Cornwall - Webb Avenue - Station Estate
Because the other option would mean you could stand on one side of the road and get a 61 to Sunderland that goes around all the estates, or stand on the other side of the road and get a 61 to Sunderland that's 10-15 minutes quicker because it doesn't go through the estates. Also, aside from the care home, people very rarely get on or off between the terrace and the cenotaph. They can live on an hourly service maybe probably ish.
