4 still connection4
82/82A renumbered 4A/4B and would join the connections4 brand don't know about 82B maybe 4C
The evening 82/83 journeys renumbered 2E/3E but would still use connections4 buses
85/86 branded indigo Washington
X1 frequency increased between Washington and Newcastle and decreased towards Easington Lane
Slightly revised time on the 5/50 to give more overlay time at South Shields

This service will operate every hour with no cuts accept service x10 not serving peterlee as this service will run on sundays
This service will bypass newcastle giving faster journeys to northumberland
This service will operate the exact same way as service x35 which will mean some trips on the x35 will run onto the 206 meaning the 206 wont be indigo.
This service will provide competition with arriva services.
This service will use a pvr of 4.
(5229-32) ran by Riverside
5233 will be a spare.
653 will move to deptford for the 701 allowing 628 to transfer out.

X6A - Sunderland - Doxford International - Peterlee - Wingate - Station Town - Norton - Stockton - Darlington
New Service X6 will operate hourly between Sunderland and Darlington with a combined frequency of every 30 Minutes between Sunderland and Stockton with Service X7, a peak time Service X6A will also be introduced opening up new links from Darlington to Doxford International, passengers from Darlington can also connect with Service X35 to Doxford International also.
X8 - Newcastle - Gateshead - Heworth - Norton - Stockton - Darlington
New Service X8 will operate hourly between Newcastle and Darlington with a combined frequency of every 30 Minutes between Newcastle and Stockton, providing a fast link for passengers from Darlington to Newcastle.

Your X8 would work better if it ran via the A184, A194 and then A1 to junction 60 from Heworth, and didn't bother with Norton and Stockton. You could instead serve Rushyford, Newton Aycliffe, Aycliffe Village and into Darlington.

X21 Newcastle-Bishop Auckland only stopping at Durham the frequency of this service remains the same every 30 minutes
21 every 15 minutes between Newcastle and Chester-Le-Street
The journeys towards Durham would be renumbered 21A and extending towards Bishop Auckland along the current route of the X21 these journeys will also run every 15 minutes
