Stagecoach service suggestions

RE: Stagecoach service suggestions
Northstar 873/874/875 omitted to Stagecoach with some refurbishments


873:
Durham Railway-High Force Hotel Service withdrawn and turned into service X873 beetween Durham Railway and Alston instead of High Force Hotel VIA A690 and A689

874:
Durham Railway-Beamish Museum not withdrawn but ran every 30 minutes on 6 weeks opening time and every hour on normal opening time

875:
Durham Railway-Shildon Locomotive Park Service withdrawn on sundays . Three runs every weekday and four runs every saturday
RE: Stagecoach service suggestions
Why would Stagecoach be more suitable than Northstar?
My understanding is the 873 is being quite well used to Barnard Castle land Teesdale. Though I do agree a service into Weardale on Sundays/Bank Holidays would be nice.
Every 30 mins to Beamish Museum would seem overkill, especially as it is possible to get there on ordinary bus services. (That is "real life" bus users behaviour - I heard people waiting for 874 chatting about how they normally visit Beamish by a simple change to 28/29 at Chester le St.) But I agree in peak season a regular service direct from Durham on other days would be nice.
But we need to remember that all these are heavily subsidised...

Yes it's that simple.

A new 10A beetween Jarrow and Horsley Hill Square will be ran every hour Monday-Saturday and then a 10B on a sunday.

The 10 and 11 is too long imo, and your 10A/10B terminating at Horsley Hill doesn't really make sence
Imo the 10/11 should be a faster alternative to Jarrow then a new 14/14A take up some of the current 10/11 to Jarrow, you could even send the 10/11 back through to North Shields  and the 14/14A through to Wallsend
