But the number of services along the Coast Road after an NUFC evening kick off is simply not enough. Before March 2020, there was........

Arriva:
- 2x 306 per hour
- 2x 308 per hour

GNE:
- 1x 309 per hour
- 1x 310 per hour
- 2x 57 per hour (until Jan 2020)
- 1x 311 per hour (after Jan 2020)

Now it's only 4x services per hour in total (not including the 51)

Now fair enough, I wouldn't expect either operator to regularly run the levels they did pre-covid but on match nights, surely a DVSA registration for such events could be made for extra journeys even if for the timebeing (given driver shortages) sub-contracing to JH or Stanley.

Not trying to be funny but how many buses do you want along there. It's more than enough imo. Not to mention there's the Metro 4x an hour aswell covering a large area of the outer areas.

Old Durham Road has 2 buses an hour
Durham Road has 3 buses an hour ignoring the 28B
Consett has 1 bus an hour

They should be all higher priority.
