(25 Jul 2014, 11:11 pm)Drifter60 wrote I would like to see GNE operate some special summer services during 6 weeks as with kids been off, scholars buses (such as all the Olympians at Stanley, Percy Main tridents etc.) aren't needed they could be used on special services.
Suggestions
401: Sunderland-Roker-Seaburn-Whitburn (idea been so then connections can be made at Sunderland Interchange to various locations) Maybe 30 Mins service daytimes,
402: Seaham-Easington-Horden-Hartlepool-Seaton Carew (this one would a more localised service, but operate maybe 3-4 journey a day rather than regular service)
403: Newcastle-Gateshead-Beamish (Express bus running maybe every 30 minutes, train/bus/metro connections, some would argue bus links in place but express would presided travel)
404: Durham-Rail Station-Adventure Valley-Diggerland (Express bus to these attractions, bus/train connections)
These could be trialed.
I reckon that would be popular with the little kids - to them the idea of getting a double decker bus there would be a bonus!
