Mod note: I've split the posts in this thread from the GNE service suggestions. Clearly there's an interest in them and discussing them, but that should be away from the operator threads.

As a fictional service idea I think I would like a see a government service introduced where the cost of your gas and electricity were determined by the level of income you receive. Progressive pricing could reduce the financial burden placed upon poorer households and help to reduce fuel poverty.

Would households be placed in to different coloured zones?

I'm putting this here because I don't think GNE would even consider this, but it was fun to design anyway.

I'm thinking of creating a non big three suggestions portfolio and this is going in there at some point.

Just a thought which is borne out of my major bugbear at the moment and relates to the current network as much as your proposed routes.

How many of those routes go near the major employers within South Tyneside at the times and days the employees are heading back and forth?

Extend it to Morpeth via Stannington Station, Hepscott Park and Stobhill and you'd have a decent service. Although it may be best placed in the Haymarket or Eldon Square rather than Clayton Street.
