Hopefully the fiasco earlier this year will be enough to sway them, but I'll not hold my breath.

84/84A needs a rethink. Could do with this service running all day really.
I rely on the 84A when I'm out because of the infrequent times of the 74 and the walk required by the X84/X85 and 42A. 808 running once each way is unfortunate. We don't have many bus service choices.

Need is the wrong word here, it's your choice you refuse to use them, it's not upto tax payers to pay for that though. I don't really see the point in the 84A at all it duplicates other services mostly and can't really see the links, RVI? I might be missing something though.Both the 84/84A are mostly covered by other services run by Stagecoach, 84 does at least offer a unique link to the Metrocentre for the most part, doesn't really require anything more than what runs currently especially as it's a lightly used service mostly just used by OAPs going shopping at either the Metrocentre or Newcastle, a small section of the route is covered by the Nexus works service 941 too when the 84 isn't running.
The 84 I get but it's too infrequent so it's just as easy to go into Newcastle and back out for most people. They definitely shouldn't be more frequent paid by tax payers though.

Andrew Scott has voiced his concerns.
Although their prices don't appear to be hedged like the bigger boys, they're paying significantly less than the punter with a car.

Volvo B8R Panther OX19STX has gone to Chalfont as YX19MKK.
Solo R6STX is withdrawn (maybe scrapped) back on YJ56WVG - leaving just 3 Solos of which ON02STX is also withdrawn?
