This is what the point of the BSIP was meant to be after all and the Great Park is likely somewhere people might actually want to go from Dinnington unlike Hazlerigg.
Obviously the road in Cramlington isn't open yet in the Beacon Hill area either but it'd be nice to have services ready to serve the estate there. I do believe there's going to be a second bus gate over there going into the back of Beacon Hill itself so it can do two different routes through there (reason I put the 2 buses through there). Arguably better than putting the X9 through one of them, it being too infrequent, and the other road being unserved which will no doubt be reality.
I beg your pardon!!! I think you'll find lots of people use the 44 to get to dinnington and vise vera. Yoiur robbing peter to pay paul in this situational. Let the great park and the subsidised service keep away from making journey times longer for the villages of brunswick, hazlerigg and dinningiton. Its bad enought that the " great park" was build on green belt in the first place and is slowly taking over, including a nature reserve at the top of hazlerigg!
