(01 Apr 2021, 8:48 pm)Storx You'll have to look at them again like as you've left Amersham Drive, South Beach (A1061) and High Pitt (North of Village Road) without a bus service at all.

Personally with your 306/51A change. I'd rather see the 57/57A extended from Whitley to Tynemouth and restore part of the old 325/326 which was abandoned by GNE years ago. Could even integrate the 58 in which is a total waste of time with it running East Hartford - Tynemouth only. Send the 52 back upto Ashington as there's more likely demand for a service from up there down to Killingworth and Quorum rather than Seaton Valley and Whitley. Plus Monkseaton and Seaton Valley would much rather have a service down to the coast rather than Ashington.

The 51A should do a loop around the new houses in Backworth imo instead.
43A would replace the Northern part of the current X9 so still a service where you mentioned but hourly.

I get your point about the 51A/57/57A/58 but, the 51A suggestion would be a suitable tender to replace the 359 and bring in extra funding for Arriva some if not all of the route secured by Nexus. The 54 has the Backworth section mostly if not fully covered there or thereabouts.

Just did further workings. Miscalculated the 308 at Blyth as being 10x rather than 6x so that would be a PVR reduction of 16x vehicles, not 12x.
