When I first saw the article, I assumed they'd have taken the opportunity to merge Jesmond and Blyth into one depot, saving on the operating costs of two separate depots.
Unless I'm having a brain fart this morning and forgetting something, the PVR for the depot will be much much lower than 34 and only 12.
There's only the 46(2), 51/51A(3), 55(4), 553/555(3) unless I've totally missed something.
17 if you had all the minibus routes there and moved the 57/57A/58 aswell but that doesn't seem too wise operational wise.
