I've been holding on to these suggestions for a while but i think these might gain a few passengers. 
Also, I originally designed these timetables for a fictional independent I was going create.

I've done another based on the 85 which you can find here

I could see that working. Plus the branding is simple

I love that, 

You could have the Washington Twenties - 22/23/24/25 - Reanme 25. 

I would also change the Name Washington 5's to Washington 3's. And there is already a 5.

However for the 22/23 etc. I would be bettter (although this is never happening to name them) 51,52,53,54 etc to complement it with the 50 & 56.

The reason why it is the 23 is because of the NEXUS 23. i thought i should keep the 23's as close as possible.

So what would you do with the current East Gateshead Orbit 51/52 and the VOLTRA 53/54?

Only suggestion I have is a better numbering system network wide

Does your 22A stand for 22 Anti Clockwise and the 22C stands for Clockwise likewise for the 23?,also the 5 already exists,unless you plan to renumber.one of them

Yes the A's & C's are Anti-Clockwise & Clockwise.
Just ignore the number 5, it was designed for an independent.

Righto,we're on the same page now,overall i think theyre decent suggestions

I might start creating a couple of timetables for other suggestions posted in this thread, with full colours and branding

Would you do a one for an overhaul of the North Tyneside routes

Anything in Particular?

Whole network if possible

1/11/19/41/41A/42/42A/309/310/311 and make up a route if u want

Here is the made up route

Also here is my 164:
https://asxterranova.home.blog/2021/12/2...route-164/

Edit: Just Found These
320 North Shields – Billy Mill – New York – Holystone – Killingworth – Dudley – Cramlington
325 North Shields – Verne Road – New York – North Tyneside Hopsital – Marden Estate – Whitley Bay – Cullercoats – Tynemouth – North Shields
326 North Shields – Tynemouth – Cullercoats – Whitley Bay – Marden Estate – North Tyneside Hospital – New York – Verne Road – North Shields
364 Whitley Bay – Briardene – Whitley Lodge – Wellfield – West Monkseaton – Monkseaton – Whitley Bay

I think the 40 would work quite well

Maybe not one for the current climate but could be one for the future. 

X23 - Durham - university hospital - new college - sacriston crossroads - edmondsley crossroads - craghead punch bowl - south Stanley st Stephens church - Stanley bus station - tanfield railway -  Sunniside front street - whickham front street (dockendale lane) - metrocentre

 This would run non stop between each of the stops listed above with a journey time of roughly 50 minutes allowing for an hourly service with a PVR of 2. Service would be timed with the x22 to provide a half hourly service between Durham and metrocentre.

12B service from Benton - Fenham - Denton Burn - Blaydon - Metrocentre, running hourly.

674 service from Newcastle Central Station - Cowgate - Slatyford - Denton Burn - Heddon on the Wall - Corbridge - Hexham, running hourly.

This is my idea for merging The GNE 26 with SNE Shields 18.

(27 Dec 2021, 4:09 pm)ASX_Terranova wrote This is my idea for merging The GNE 26 with SNE Shields 18.

Could name them the 17/18.

(27 Dec 2021, 4:15 pm)Keeiajs wrote Could name them the 17/18.

I would go for 17/18/19 then renumber the existing 19 to 40

(27 Dec 2021, 4:36 pm)ASX_Terranova wrote I would go for 17/18/19 then renumber the existing 19 to 40

Or 23/24/26 (which i would prefer)

(27 Dec 2021, 4:47 pm)Keeiajs wrote Or 23/24/26 (which i would prefer)

I was going to suggest using 23 & 24 for a newcastle bound service.

(27 Dec 2021, 5:00 pm)ASX_Terranova wrote I was going to suggest using 23 & 24 for a newcastle bound service.

You could rename the 25, and do 

22/23/24/25/26/27

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.

I would like to see any operator have a crack at another service between Washington Galleries and Newcastle. Anybody got any decent suggestions other than whats in the PDF.

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.
