RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - ASX_Terranova - 27 Jun 2021 (27 Jun 2021, 3:38 pm)Adrian The Dunston Dynamo sounds like an NBA team. It doesnt but..... Technically because the 50, 5 & 55 interwork, so you could get away with it. The brand could be changed to Sea & ???? (I'll leave the ? To the rest of you) I would also send all three services down ocean road if possible. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - V514DFT - 27 Jun 2021 (27 Jun 2021, 2:34 pm)ASX_Terranova No just back the old 526 and extend from monkton Lane to washington and from horsley hill to south shields.Gotcha,im with you now RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - OrangeArrow49 - 27 Jun 2021 Replace 10 and X84/X85 with a new service; Newcastle - Denton Burn - Walbottle - Metrocentre - Blaydon - Ryton - Crawcrook - Riding Mill - Corbridge - Hexham. Every 20 minutes Monday - Saturday, hourly on Sundays. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Adrian - 27 Jun 2021 (27 Jun 2021, 7:53 pm)OrangeArrow49 Replace 10 and X84/X85 with a new service; Newcastle - Denton Burn - Walbottle - Metrocentre - Blaydon - Ryton - Crawcrook - Riding Mill - Corbridge - Hexham. Every 20 minutes Monday - Saturday, hourly on Sundays. Why? It'd have to go back on itself to get back to the Metrocentre, to then reduce the frequency on the Metrocentre - Crawcrook section to half its current frequency. Google times it as 27 minutes by car, so it'd be about 40 by bus. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - transportintyneandwear - 28 Jun 2021 Does anyone think this is a plausible route? https://ibb.co/FBCWkdn RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - MurdnunoC - 28 Jun 2021 (28 Jun 2021, 7:33 pm)transportintyneandwear Does anyone think this is a plausible route? Anything that goes through Plawsworth is 'Plawsible' I guess. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - ASX_Terranova - 29 Jun 2021 A Few Suggestions: Connections4 Revised Route Between Wardley and Heworth with 4 going along Meresyde, Grange Road & High Lanes (Instead of 84).

New Service 59: Bill Quay, Heworth, Felling Metro, Felling Square, Q.E Hospital, Carr Hill, Deckham, Gateshead, Newcastle Every 30 Mins (Would Replace Nexus 68 between Bill Quay, Heworth and Q.E Hospital.) XLines Revised X1 Extended from Easington Lane to Peterlee via South Hetton, Easington Village, Essington Way & Beverley Way Extend from Easington Lane to Seaham via Murton, Dalton Park & Spectrum Business Park (Renumbered X2) Combined Every 10 Mins (3 X1, 3 X2) New Service X23 Newcastle, Bensham, Saltwell Park, Low Fell, Harlow Green, Washington Galleries (Limited Stop) then all stops to Durham via Harraton, CLS, Plawsworth, Arnison Centre, Newton Hall, & Framwellgate Moor (Every 20 MIns).

Wouldn’t mind seeing an hourly journey extended from Easington lane to Haswell, running a circular route around Haswell , opening lost connections to Hetton and houghton and onward travel to Washington and Newcastle Extend service 35 to high pittington and terminate the 35 at Sunderland , with service 61 taking on the 35 route to heworth, with service 60 to shields instead of service 20 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - V514DFT - 29 Jun 2021 (29 Jun 2021, 9:36 am)ASX_Terranova A Few Suggestions:Tbh i dont think the demand is there for your X41,the 41 itself around Howdon struggles now tbh,personally since the 40,42/42A were dropped,the X39 and X40,might have potential,as for the others,i cant comment cus im not from that area RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - ASX_Terranova - 29 Jun 2021 (29 Jun 2021, 11:56 am)V514DFT Tbh i dont think the demand is there for your X41,the 41 itself around Howdon struggles now tbh,personally since the 40,42/42A were dropped,the X39 and X40,might have potential,as for the others,i cant comment cus im not from that areaWhat were loadings like on the 305, when that ran to wallsend. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - V514DFT - 29 Jun 2021 (29 Jun 2021, 12:51 pm)ASX_Terranova What were loadings like on the 305, when that ran to wallsend.Wouldnt know as that was before my time living in the area,i moved to Battle Hill in 2015,and moved to Howdon in 2017,the 305 was long gone by then,did the 305 ever go to Whitley Bay,or did i imagine that? RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Acky81 - 30 Jun 2021 Why is everyone obsessed with the 60 going to South Shields instead of the 20. They tried it years ago with service 37 parkside to South Shields via Sunderland and it never worked so for axed. Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - cbma06 - 30 Jun 2021 (30 Jun 2021, 12:51 am)Acky81 Why is everyone obsessed with the 60 going to South Shields instead of the 20. They tried it years ago with service 37 parkside to South Shields via Sunderland and it never worked so for axed. Probably axed as it was only 1 or maybe 2 an hour daytime journey per and using a minibus, while the 35/35a/36 was still running to shields as the main service. I think there’s more obsession about the little coasters using older solos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - deanmachine - 30 Jun 2021 (30 Jun 2021, 12:51 am)Acky81 Why is everyone obsessed with the 60 going to South Shields instead of the 20. They tried it years ago with service 37 parkside to South Shields via Sunderland and it never worked so for axed. Exactly! Why would someone from a coastal town want to go to another coastal town? You'd be surprised at the number of people travelling through from Houghton and Durham to South Shields, especially during the summer. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Washingtonian - 30 Jun 2021 (27 Jun 2021, 4:20 pm)ASX_Terranova It doesnt but..... Quite like your 55 idea. From Monkton Lane I would send it on to the A194 (White Mare Pool way) and have it serve Follingsby Park, then on to Concord. From there I would send it to Blackfell and Oxclose then onto the Galleries. As a result I would withdraw Little Pinks 86. I would then increase the frequency of the 85 on evenings and Sundays to every half hour and extend to Teal Farm to replace the 86 journeys.

I would potentally extend the 55 to serve Biddick (Parkway) and Harraton (San Lorenzo, Bonemill Lane) RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Washingtonian - 30 Jun 2021 (30 Jun 2021, 12:10 pm)ASX_Terranova The little pinks network is fine at the moment. I would potentally extend the 55 to serve Biddick (Parkway) and Harraton (San Lorenzo, Bonemill Lane) I personally wouldn't extend it to serve Biddick and Harraton as both villages are pretty well served at the moment. If I'm correct I think Biddick has around 6-7 buses and hour during the day and Harraton around 4 in total I think? I agree the Little Pinks are fine at the moment but I think if the 55 intergrated the 86 route there would be potential for more passengers.

Not round the back in biddick since the 180 & 493 were withdrawn and nothing on bonemill lane since the 393 was axed, you could also include rickleton way (293) & Cambrian Way (148). I'm just trying to cover every basis.

I lose track of the Washington services, but pretty sure Harraton and Rickleton have more than that. 2/2a, 8 and 81. Appreciate the 2/2a doesn't quite hit Rickleton mind. A fair drop from days of yore mind, when there was the likes of the 294, 179, 180, X6, 777, 638 etc. (30 Jun 2021, 10:40 pm)ASX_Terranova Not round the back in biddick since the 180 & 493 were withdrawn and nothing on bonemill lane since the 393 was axed, you could also include rickleton way (293) & Cambrian Way (148). I'm just trying to cover every basis. I'm not sure the loop roads in Biddick or Lambton need a service to be honest. As for Bonemill Lane - there's the 8. Scoots straight down it to/from Harraton and Rickleton. RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions v2 - Washingtonian - 01 Jul 2021 (01 Jul 2021, 8:18 am)Andreos1 I lose track of the Washington services, but pretty sure Harraton and Rickleton have more than that. Yeah Harraton is currently served by the services you mentioned all on a half hourly frequency. The 2 serves Lambton and Harraton with the 2A going through Biddick then onto Fatfield etc. Still that is more services than I realised. While I think it would be a good idea for the Biddick and Lambton loop roads to be given a service, I doubt GNE would be willing to do this as there is no where for the buses to stop, apart from on a Hail and Ride basis which isn't always the best. It may be helpful to the elderly mind. |
