Your suggesting, changing the 29A to do Harlow Green and Wrekenton, then a second to do the backwaters of Birtley and continue to Washington with the 21's from Chester being extended to Langley Park instead..?
If you want to go down that route though you'd be doing something like:
21 - Current 21 to Brandon, every 30 minutes.
22 - Current 21 to Chester Le Street, 25 to Langley Park, every 30 minutes.
23 - Current 21 to Harlow Green, turn right towards the Gold Medal then 29 route to Kibblesworth, every 30 minutes.
24 - Current 21 to Harlow Green turn left, current 25 as far as Vigo, turn left under the A1(M) and do the 84 loop in the opposite direction, every 30 minutes.
25 - Withdrawn
28 - Same route
28A - Direct from the Gold Medal to Birtley.
29 - Withdrawn
Admit I haven't thought about timetabling at all and whether it would actually work but it's much less confusing that what your suggesting and there's way too many 21's between The Angel and Chester Le Street which are never busy. It also removes the short and long 21's.
Would this work by any chance? It was set up as an idea for GNE Competition.
