If Stagecoach can offer a suitable alternative with journey times and stopping arrangements not to disimilar to the 57/58 and guarantee that they'll turn up 99% of the time, I'm sure most passengers in Hadrian Park heading to Newcastle or Wallsend would abandon the 41/41A/307 in favour of a revised 22.
Well that's the whole point of a suggestion forum. And it's actually a very valid suggestion given GNE's situation with not too much being meddled around with at Stagecoach's end.
The only stumbling block would be any funding agreements with Cobalt and how the 22X boards would work.
If them two issues could be addressed, would actually be a nice little earner for Stagecoach especially with the AM / PM peaks towards Newcastle.
Name one way how. The 41/41A server Battle Hill & Wiltshire Drive which pick up people and the 307 goes along the coast road. Your suggestion still makes no sense. Hadrian Park wouldn't either make sense for the 22. The 22 would even need another bus or 2 added onto the pvr. Your suggestion is annoying to keep hearing.
What I find funny is you want the 22 to make a better alternative to the 307 yet it was you who sat here on this fourm in January complaining about the 310/311 and welcome the 307 change. Now you're saying the 307 isn't the best and the 22 is a better option. Stagecoach wouldn't push in on Hadrian Park since it's a gne area and always has been (at least I can remember)
The 22 to Hadrian Park makes no sense and I'm sure a lot of us are sick of hearing it
