The likes of Cambois, Linton, Hepscott and Stannington obviously have very poor connectivity, then there's huge estates in Cramlington, Morpeth, Blyth and Ashington that have no service whatsoever. I've tried planning routes from the newest Ashington and Bedlington estates but it's difficult without running more vehicles or inconveniencing others by looping around estates for 5 minutes.

A DRT service in South East Northumberland could also ease pressure from a lot of the core routes, too.

Why would DRT be better? It doesn’t seem to have worked in many places around the country. A few years ago I remember seeing the Nexus Link Up minibuses parked around the county waiting for work but I rarely saw them in service apart from a bit of service work on the 6 and 359. [attachment=10031]
