(Yesterday, 8:14 am)robisdave4554 wrote I must assume from this that the current service 5 to Easington is now dropping to a half hourly frequency? Daytime Off Peak I guess this is ample for the amount of traffic using it but what will happen during the morning and evening peaks when those trips see some heavy loadings. Was there not scope to bring back some X5 trips at these times?
The 5 already operates at a half hour frequency, it's just the 5a is going. Reducing the 5a to 1 an hour and having a 30:15:15 split and saying the X93 fills the other gap always was an odd move imo. X5 hasn't run for years can't see it coming back as a peak extra cause it's a waste of resource and when there's only 2bph anyway running an X5 would mean some stops drop down to hourly.
