RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions - Jimmi - 27 Jun 2016
(27 Jun 2016, 12:18 pm)GMitchelhill No part of the A19 south of the tunnel to Thirsk is limited to 50mphI was referring to the StreetLite's, not the A19. I badly worded that last post.
RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions - L469 YVK - 27 Jun 2016
I think that the days of 'heavy duty' single and double deck buses are becoming numbered. When the call beckons for 6043-6048 to be replace, I think it will be highly likely to see StreetDecks replacing them. Although not ideal vehicles, they seem to do the job OK and only time will tell.
The same goes for Streetlites continuing the discussion and although they have a small engine, it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll prove unreliable over long distances. Looking at Arriva's Enviro 400s out of Ashington Depot, with the exception of 7501-7505 which had hard lives before going to Ashington, the majority of them have proven themselves particularly the Euro 5 examples (7528 - 7534 in particular).

(27 Jun 2016, 7:52 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com X6. Hartlepool - castle eden - horden - peterlee - Easington village - Easington lane - murton - dalton park - heworth - wardley.Goes to Heworth before Wardley??

You have to go through Wardley to get to Heworth if using the most direct route.
RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions - beefcake - 27 Jun 2016
What exactly is in Wardley that would make me want to sit on a bus through to there? As there's nothing much to offer at this end of the route

Your not a wardley resident that may need the route
RE: Go North East: Service Suggestions - beefcake - 27 Jun 2016
Maybe not, but no Wardley resident is going to come all the way to Hartlepool when Newcastle, Metrocentre and Sunderland are all a lot closer

(27 Jun 2016, 8:11 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Your not a wardley resident that may need the route
And do you really think more than 2 or 3 people (if that) per day, would use it?
When the Metrocentre and Newcastle are less than half an hour away, I can't see anyone wanting to sit on a bus for almost an hour to Dalton Park, for no where near the amount of choice.

That would take forever...
Both X7 and X9 currently take about 1h20-1h30, your X9 diverting through Sunderland would take well over 2 hours, going on the timing of current and previous services that go between Newcastle and Sunderland.
If I was to suggest anything myself, it would be
X8 Sunderland-Grangetown-Ryhope-New Seaham-Dalton Park-A19-Peterlee-Billingham-Middlesbrough...Half Hourly combined with the X7
Will need to have a good think sometime, I aint had any service suggestions lately 😀
