Basically what I have done is split the 43/44/44A Three times, between Durham and Stanley the current routes are maintained with the current service number, then I have split them again this twice between Stanley and Newcastle, so that you would have a Bus Every 15 Minutes Direct to the MetroCentre where they would terminate, and again a Bus Every 15 Minutes providing a quicker more direct link to Newcastle which is where the X73-78 have come from, thus greatly improving reliability, not only that but offering an improved level of service between Stanley and Whickham also.
