Just to be clear, I think areas in close proximity should have a bus, regardless of where I do or don't wish to go. Going into Newcastle to come back the other way makes no sense to me. Particularly with the additional cost of that wasted journey. A privatised bus network is not the best!
In terms of Blaydon/Winlaton it was the 792/941 works buses that inspired my thinking, in addition to bygone era services and Westerhope being close to the A1, not my personal travel plans alone.
