Would be interesting to see how much money is being spaffed away on these fresh air carts, especially the 416 where the only passenger is dust...

417 to Lancaster Park/Northgate could have been covered by an extension of the 35. Perhaps alternate 35 arrivals to send one hourly off to Stannington as well...

The new pattern is to be worked by 1 bus rather than 2, so a big saving to Northumberland County Council there.

Any extension of the 35 would need Arriva to agree a price with Northumberland CC - assuming that Arriva are interested in such things, given the current driver shortage.
