In the terms of the cuts no doubt the likes of 5, 6, 9, 26, 28/28A, 33, 38, 39/39A, 55, 67, 69, Peterlee Locals, Washington Locals, Consett Locals are the types of services which are at risk when the Covid money dries up. They're the type of services which have already been cut in North Tyneside and most are already subsidised at some point. That's speculation though.

i wouldn't say the 6,9,26,33,38,39/39A are at risk. 38 & 39/39A are being subsided already on a evening and have done for many years. Same with Peterlee and Washington. 33 Carriers a lot of people, contrary to many peoples belief here, so does the 38.

Also there must be some myth with the 55 that it carries no body, on sundays there are quite a few people who use it, same during the week many a time I have seen it more busier than the X20 & 20.
