[quote="Chris 1 wrote That would be preferable! Throw the 633 in to the mix and there was something for everyone. Round the houses or straight down the bank. I pity the poor folk of Wylam View or Heddon View with this proposed 12, they'll have the worst of both worlds.
Admittedly the numbers would be low compared to the rest of the route, but folk from Hanover Estate won't be able to get a GNE bus to Winlaton, but they will back every 20 mins! It's the sort of routing that probably put pay to the 28, 69 etc. Its making the 12 very unattractive. This sort of thing is too clever by half. It may well work on paper, but they'll lose more customers as a result.
I also hope a pair of bus stops are going to be placed near the junction of North Street and the Bus Station entrance for those travelling up from Shibdon Bank and Parkhead Estate to the village centre, otherwise they'll have to stay on the bus down to Heddon View and back!
