(28 May 2015, 10:15 am)Michael Me too Cbma - something needs to be done, the road is terrible if a bus doesn't/can't park up at the bus stop.

Thanks for the info on the police station, i hope it doesn't stop empty for ages.... a hotel would be decent but aren't they building one on the square already?

As for the civic centre, it needs to go, its a horrid site, the area could be used for the college... like a car park or even a few more buildings, like offices etc.

Edit:

Holmeside also needs sorting, the amount of buses using each stop on both sides is ridiculous.............

Here is the stop for the 3,4,13,20,20A, X20 - http://liners.nexus.org.uk/24S26.pdf - Every bus service is every 10 mins (20/20A - every 20 mins but you know what i mean) - the amount of times the 23 bus stop is blocked is ridiculous.

Here is my stop for the 23 - http://liners.nexus.org.uk/24S25.pdf - although not all services are frequent as the buses on the above stop, all still arrive at the bus stop with a frequency of every 10/15 mins (expect for the 38C/X1).

I think the whole area needs changing.

you missed off the E1,E2 and E6 lol

I was only joking about having a hotel on the police station site lol , seems that's sunderland have gone mad about having hotels.

When the economics leave park lane interchange there go right round the back and enter Fawcett street from burdon road so missing out Holmside.

So if Holmside goes only east bound traffic, then everything coming from eastbound (16/10/11/4/ etc.. etc...) will would have to follow right around behind park lane onto burdon road and Fawcett street which would restrict passengers getting off at either the bus stop on Stockton road or burdon road and then Fawcett street, which passengers wouldn't really able to get off at one side of the town at Vine Place.

whos in charge of bus companies stopping at bus stops?, I know that the bus companies have to register the route with VOSA, does the bus companies have to register stopping at bus stops with Nexus and if so can Nexus say no to the bus companies?.
