(17 Sep 2023, 4:26 pm)V514DFT See now the 63 is going to Middle Callerton the 64 could now been restored in full and combined with the 62 and 63 every half an hour 62/63 Killingworth Bus Station- Southgate 30 mins each (15 combined) 63/64 Great Lime Road-West Denton, then they combine with the 62 Four Lane Ends-West Denton i theory providing the same frequency as now and the 62 between Southgate -Quorum- Longbenton, is that really an issue being every 30 mins when theres the 18/335/352/354/355 aswell it also would mean the 11 to Chapel House wouldnt be needed as the 64 used to run Forest Hall Shops- Chapel House

(17 Sep 2023, 6:35 pm)Storx It's funny I was actually thinking of similar to that aswell but not sure, halfing the frequency would be too popular - even known it's probably more than enough to be fair.

(18 Sep 2023, 8:43 am)pbjd I could be misinterpreting the wording but it appears X24&X34 could be receiving permanent Sunday services, as the Shoppers one doesn’t start as early as October, and the registration normally mentions the fact it’s only a Christmas run up thing.

(22 Sep 2023, 8:48 pm)pbjd The 59 being extended to Middlesbrough is quite a bizzare change, can’t say I see the need for it other than at a push giving Tithe Barn and Elm Tree a bus further than the High Street.

(23 Sep 2023, 11:15 am)col87 I think the question is going to be what route it takes into Middlesbrough. I think the road past McMillian college and goals is already well served by the 36/37/38 so makes no sense. Going via Acklem and Linthope will take quite a while to do so can’t see that route.  That leaves  either direct via A19 in which case a possibility of going into Teesdale and Teesside park or doubling back on itself and going along Portrack Lane.

(24 Sep 2023, 4:19 pm)deanmachine It's meant for people who don't have a metro connection to get to Newcastle, that's why it goes the way it does. I live at Harton Nook so it's my default way to go to Newcastle, there's no reason why I'd use it to go into the town centre.
