Obviously, don't have them extend up to Consett like they used to (718 evenings and Sundays only).
I'd like to see some services renumbered to their former numbers, but I think the current system has been around for so long that the current numbers are set in stone with passengers. Some passengers who did not use the services when they were the 194, 775, etc. would be scratching their heads if a bus turned up showing that destination.
That said, I know a lot of passengers remember the old service numbers. One of my teachers continuously refers to the ''Connections4'' as the 194, and my late grandad always referred to the 78 as the 778.
