Hartlepool Tall Ships 2023 Park and Ride
Hartlepool Tall Ships 2023 Park and Ride
Just to clarify what happened last time Hartlepool had the tall ships they was three park and ride sites at Greatham, Tofts Farm industrial Estate and Hart Village.
Classic operated the Greatham site, Garnetts Coaches operated the Tofts Farm site and and Arriva operated the Hart Village site.
The drop off points was the interchange from Garnetts , Greenbank and Middleton Road for Arriva, and Gateway Bridge for Classic.
Richardsons also did a shuttle between Hartlepool Centre and the Headland.

Wouldn't be surprised if the buses are parked up at the Steelworks Park and Ride in Hartlepool.
Shouldn't this be moved to GNE area. also the advertisment for it just say multiple buses an hour, but that could be every 30 mins, pretty crap considering the amount of parents and elderly going which may need the buggy bays.
Would be a nice for a proper timetable

That’ll explain why it says “up to 12 double deckers will be in operation” on this post on Facebook, thought it didn’t look right as there was a lot more than that when Sunderland hosted the Tall Ships in 2018.

Someone commented on a friends Facebook post when Arriva did the Park & Rides for the 2010 Tall Ships they had around 90 buses for the event.
If there’s only 12 buses in total there are going to be some very large queues and the buses will be rammed as that would be 3 buses each for 4 Park & Ride sites. If I go I’ll probably park in Asda or the retail park across the road from the marina.

The park and ride in 2010 was widely criticised as underused and a huge loss for the event. It seems the council have gone from feast to famine with his provision this year so hopefully it’s not equally panned as a disaster.
That said, the car parks have been brought in much closer this year, 2010 had Hart & Greatham as car parks - steelworks remains the same. Buses should be able to run to Grayfields and Coronation Drive in half as much time. Not sure where turning is possible on Coronation Drive mind and I’d worry about congestion close to the event if, as above, car drivers are attempting to head as close as ASDA/Anchor Retail park only to find their parking is full and heavily restricted for the event.
12 double decker buses can transport 1000 people, depending on the journey length they can move a hell of a lot of people in quite a short time if it's well organised.
