(11 May 2022, 9:14 pm)Aaron21 I don't even understand why the 1 still needs to go to Gateshead. There doesn't seem a point now since once it hits Market Street. It's running alongside every other GNE services to GatesheadYou could say that about every other bus going back and forwards over the river though.

(11 May 2022, 9:30 pm)Andreos1 See, I'm not sure about that.
I think the potential to open up that east - west corridor (as far as GNE or ANE are concerned) is something that has been needed for a while and may encourage those travelling to places like the station or college to do so via GNE, rather than SNE, car, taxi, metro, foot or a combo of those things.
The numbers attracted to this re-routed option, may counteract anyone who is annoyed by the extra few minutes spent on the bus, crossing the Tyne.
It's a positive move imo and hopefully it inspires further revisions to routes around that way - whether via the Redheugh Bridge or Forth Banks.
It may also see an end to the never ending convoy of buses following each other out of Gateshead, over the Tyne Bridge and back out again over the High Level.

There's too many imo and whilst I don't think they all need to cross the river in the numbers they do currently, I do think a bit of route variation can help.

But with these changes which will effect Deptford the only real change I can see is no 38A, but really that isn't unexpected seems as though it does the same loop as 38.
The only services which are missing is 135/136.
