RE: September 2024 Changes

I would support BSIP funding for the 21 if, for example, it was to extend it to a place without a bus service at present. This is using public money to subsidise what is often referred to as the flagship* Go North East route.
Even quickly thinking about other routes which GNE have cut since 2020, this could have restored something like the X9 which would have doubled the frequency along that corridor and improved journey times on the X10.
* Allocated vehicle standards would disagree.
X9 return or X10 increase can't happen sustainably unless X30/X70 services are changed to reduce the low height PVR.....or other 'suitable' vehicles are drafted in elsewhere from within GAG or bought new, the latter being extremely unlikely.

And now run using deckers? My mind boggles!
