There would probably be a need to reverse/turn in Ulceby to then go to the airport - it's would be a good five minutes out of the way between Wootton and the airport, depending on how far you go into Ulceby. That five minutes could make the current hourly service with four vehicles impossible to keep doing reliably.Humber Transporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704677966009159426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979801883485328355.post-6584588081125372672018-04-09T22:19:17.005+01:002018-04-09T22:19:17.005+01:00Just going to chuck my 2p in

The existing "4" then is hourly (instead of the currently bizzare timetable) via Ashby, (Timberlands?), Broughton etc. Would there be any benefit to running the X4 right through to Grimsby to replace the Humber flyer, if it goes get routed via the villages? <br /><br />Humberflyer/450<br />Routing the Humber Flyer via the villages seems like a backward step, but would it actually add that much to the journey, and would the extra custom counter the slightly extended journey time? Can't see an "improved service between Barton & Brigg" doing well - Infact if the X4 went via Elsham between Wrawby and Barnetby, I would say it would be better replaced by Callconnect style service to those tiny places left over.<br /><br />55<br />No idea how well the route is used currently, but diverting the Whitton journeys on the 60 that way would seem more logical. A new "60" could then run to Burton only - it could even be merged into the 37 to provide an hourly Scunthorpe-Burton service?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979801883485328355.post-20409902732616574962018-04-09T12:40:53.640+01:002018-04-09T12:40:53.640+01:00As ever the actual report published by N.L.C. rais...As ever the actual report published by N.L.C. raises more questions than it answers and it appears to be little more than a wish list in pursuit of the long-held dogmatic myth that it is possible to have a self supporting transport network. The report itself was of low factual content and really tells us more about the standard of governance in these parts than it does about our public services; what more could be expected from such a group of people who herald the splitting of the Scunthorpe to Sheffield stopping trains at Doncaster and their re-timing to the extent that the connections from east of Scunthorpe into and from the stoppers for passengers using the intermediate stations will be destroyed as an improved timetable?
