2- Current route, running every 30 minutes, instead of the current 20.
2A- Blyth Bus Station- Cowpen Shops- Bebside ASDA - Bebside Road (A193) - Bedlington Front Street- Red House Farm- Nedderton- A192- Morpeth- Kirkhill
The 2A would also run every 30 minutes, so with the 2 there would be a combined 15 minute frequency between Morpeth, Bedlington and Blyth.
The 2A could cut nearly 10 minutes off journey times, if I've done the maths right. It would also provide a better service to Morpeth to those in Nedderton and those living on the A193 (the road the X5 uses). I'll have a look at doing a timetable later, but what are peoples thoughts?
The Nedderton part sounds good, as my proposed X21/22/23 can now go down Hartford Road, as there will be connections at Red Lion for Newcastle and Ashington services.
