It is also a bit of a random route that appears to serve no purpose beyond getting people on a bus to Durham so they can get another bus to where they actually want to be.
The only GNE routes that head in the same rough direction are the 65 and the 20. So I had a play around and this is what I came up with. A new 20/20A and a new 65/65A. I have based this on the frequencies/routes once the upcoming changes take place while also trying to maintain all of the links that exist currently.
The 20/20A do take longer than currently but it was my view that that would just make the x20 a more justified express.
I've done a rough mock up of the basic timetable premise and routes. Id be interested to hear people's thoughts.
That is one of the best ideas I have seen for quite some time... I am sure its not perfect but i see a lot of benefits!
