These fields could be a good location?https://www.google.com/maps/@55.1254393,-1.605862,17.24z
- A main part of the current Arriva X21/22 routes, and the Red Lion bus stop is an ideal location for driver changeovers
- A very short distance from Blyth and Cramlington, for the Blyth express services.
- Later 19 journeys could operate out of here
- 309 from New York to Blyth. Walk to office.
- Pick up Express frim Blyth or drive pool van to Red Lion.
- Finish back at Blyth and take the 309 back to New York ready for a driver to take it back to Shields or Verne Road.
- They could even do the same for the Coaster by extending the Gateshead runs to Blyth with drivers starting at Percy Main or North Shields towards Blyth.
