Busiest Individual Bus Stop
Busiest Individual Bus Stop
(04 Apr 2024, 11:48 am)Michael Ye it is, was on the bus other day and we waited ages for it to get to the shop.It's frustrating as a driver if you're running late and there's a few buses in front, particularly since they cut the running time between there and Fawcett Street.
Whos idea was it to have 1 bus stop for all those services?

Quite why they thought one stop would be adequate I don't know considering it replaced three on Vine Place, however I'm not sure where a second stop would go without major work.

Just checked the plans for it and there's nothing though, seems such a simple scheme and would better connect Park Lane for pedestrians aswell. There does seem to be a path though.

(04 Apr 2024, 6:22 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Yeah would have been good if they did something like that – just had a look too and plans suggest not. Will at least be good to see pedestrian access restored… the old metal pedestrian ramp that was there for decades was well used till they decided to cut off all the pedestrian routes other than Holmeside when they got rid of the ramp, the market and the rights of way through the civic. More superb planning.

(03 Apr 2024, 2:19 am)pbjd The stop on Crossgate will be even busier due to serving routes coming into the town via Laygate as well as routes that leave via Westoe Road, but I think the busiest in Shields would be Station Road with only the 10, 516 and E1 not observing the stop.

Busiest stop in Hartlepool is probably Victoria Road opposite the Grand Hotel. It’s supposed to be two separate stops but often don’t work like that as it can be quiet for a good 5 - 8 minutes before 3 or 4 buses all come at once meaning they ends up been a queue or if they go just after the stop blocking another bus in until they move. They is about 20 buses an hour on Monday - Saturday daytime trying to use the stops.
