Plus Burnopfield already have 2 services to Newcastle and 1 service to Metrocentre already (V7, X70 and X71) - all they'd need to do is re-route one of them via Lintz (could only be the V7 or X70) and the problem is sorted.
Burnopfield also has the 6, which is another 2 buses an hour to both Newcastle and Metrocentre.
