A. A service between Morpeth and Metrocentre
B. Service 18 withdrawn and replaced by the X21.
C. Service 17 joins the North Tyne Links brand, but no changes to the route.
D. I'm not sure if this would work; but service X25 withdrawn and replaced by services 25 & 26 which would see them run from Newcastle - Durham, replacing the X25 from Newcastle - Langley Park then replacing services 13 & 14 between Langley Park & Durham.
No quite sure how having Deckers, already with a long route, bombing around Bishop is going to be an improvement on having a couple of smaller, more economical buses. Even if deckers on the 18 route could somehow be justified when it doesn't even fill a full size single decker at the moment, it would mean that people only needing to travel locally in Bishop would be at the mercy of the whims of traffic in 2 cities and a motorway and would no doubt be narked at having to wait for a bus that's 20 minutes late when they only wanted a few groceries and to pick up a prescription, in the first place.
