(12 Sep 2022, 10:04 pm)Unber43 wrote So Seaham to Durham would be hourly, when the Seaham - Hetton part is the part with the most traffic, aswell its either Arriva or GNE, for most people so therefore it would be every 15 mins with the 60, with the 61 cancellation.
Every 15 min link between Seaham and Dalton Park on GNE is gone, to every hour. There is no integration with Arriva & GNE, especially people who buy day tickets and single Arriva is cheaper.
60 should return to every 12 mins especially with the 61 drop in frequency. The 61 should be permanently re-routed on the 61A Route.
X6 - Sunderland - Seaham - Dalton Park - Peterlee - Easington - Murton - Dalton Park - Seaham - Doxford Park - Sunderland.
X7 - Sunderland - Doxford Park - Seaham - Dalton Park - Murton - Easington - Peterlee - Dalton Park - Seaham - Sunderland
I don't know how that would work, but it would keep the 61 at every 30 mins with an express service to peterlee and a slow service.
Tbf if anything GNE should run the 22.
To those,
Murton to Seaham would upped to every 15 minutes with the 36, X7 and X8
Seaham to Dalton Park would also be every 15 minutes with the X6, X7 and X8
The 60 is mostly covered, it's only section in the West of Seaham which isn't, the 2, 2A, 39, 39A all over other parts of the route and having one awkward 12 minute service with 2 15 minute services makes it hard to interwork.
Maps of those routes above I think you got confused by the routes:
X6 - Same as now
X7 - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.90201...762441!3e0
X8 - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.90201...07!1m0!3e0
35 - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.90201...1e!1m0!3e0
36 - Same as 65
Minus Doxford Park, the X6/X7 are pretty much doing that anyway there.
