If were going on bonker ideas surely it would be better for Arriva to just buy Percy Main with the 1 moving to Riverside or Stagecoach.
You've fixed the mess of the Coast Road overnight and Arriva have a depot on the Coast for the Coast Road services and 41/41A/51/52/53/54/57 which are all close by.
For starters, the 309/310/311 would need to stay with GNE (moving to Riverside) or the CMA would be all over it.
The number 1, GNE could give that up with Stagecoach somehow merging parts into a 22 or 22A.
That would leave the 19 and 41/41A. As for Percy Main and Arriva's operations, would need some remote reliefs but dead mileage would be way less than Ashington or Blyth
- 52/53/54 - Changed at New York or Billy Mill Avenue
- 306 - Changed at Formica
- 46/46A/51/51A - Changed at Holystone Park or West Allotment
- 43/44/45 - Changed at Haymarket
