Maybe they could flip some stuff around and say have the X45 and 12 interworking together with a PVR 8 with 75 minutes for the X45 and 45 minutes for the 12 from Consett
Then the X30/X31 moved to Riverside in return working standalone with a PVR 3 or interworking with something else if they want to remove the short drive from the depot for changeovers.
Believe the PVR is the same as it is now anyway. The 12 is getting hammered lately by being on the extremely long 10/10A aswell.
- X30/X31 via Ravensworth Road then non stop via Gas Works and Centrelink then Swing Bridge. Stanley bound via Redheugh Bridge, Askew Road West and Gas Works - would only add 5 mins at most and interworking wouldn't be an issue, any height decker could be used.
- 6 via Clockmill Road and Pitz Soccer as Tyne Valley Ten already covers the Teams.
- Peak time 10/10A/10B normal route to Askew Road West then back down via Tyne Road and Rose Street onto Centrelink.
