Think it was this for the Highwayman services:
Service 96: Extended to Newcastle Monday-Saturday daytimes instead of 98/98A, it also means Ravensworth Road and Wellington Road benefit from a direct service to Newcastle.
64/64A: Run between Gateshead, Rose Street and Yetholm Road only.
Highwayman 97: Increased to every 10 minutes from Newcastle to Fellside Park via Gateshead and Whickham Highway, every 20 minutes a bus would continue to the Metrocentre
Service 98/98A: Would continue to run from Whickham to Newcastle, only at the busiest times of day when the majority of passengers are travelling.
Think i'll stick my OP.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
