IDEA: the suggestions would then make all the service numbers more aligned as opposed to the current mix match. The new 207 would provide later evening and Sunday buses between Seaham & Murton. 207 daytimes would provide an exact every 20 minute daytime service Seaham-Dalton Park-Murton. 207 would serve East Moor allowing quicker 265 journey times. New 203 provides service to residents lost by removal of 238.
Also, suggestions for 13/14/71:-
'Lime' 71/72
Chester-Great Lumley-FenceHouses-Houghton-Seaton-New Seaham-Seaham (71)-Dalton Park (72)
Replaces 238 between Seaham & Houghton, provides stable future to 71 by giving it extension. Link to dalton park strengthening connections and travel opportunities.
'CrossDurham' 13/14
Langley Park-Sacriston-Arnsion Centre-Durham-Gilesgate-Belmont-Pittington-Sheburn.
Half hourly service across route.
13 hourly, would operate anti clockwise, Durham-Gilesgate-Belmont-Pittington-Sheburn Hill-Sherburn Village-Dragonville-Gilesgate-Durham
14 hourly, would operate clockwise, Durham-Gilesgate-Dragonville-Sheburn Village-Sherburn Hill-Pittington-Belmont-Gilesgate-Durham
I cant see GNE doing a service between Arnsion Centre-Durham-Sherburn, as it will more or less duplicating Arriva 64 route etc..., If their did then nothing stopping Arriva going on GNE 21 route with a 10 minute frequency, then GNE would lose money from their own service, which wont go down to well for the shareholders.
