Used both the 41 (Wallsend to Howdon) & 41A (Howdon to Wallsend) today. Few things to pick up on

1, I can see why the Howdon section is up for withdrawal. I was the only passenger on the 41 to Howdon after Smyth Toys

2, The Versa seem a proper Allocation as they do get the loadings better than the smaller StreetLite did

3, there is no need at all if the consultation goes ahead for the 41 to stay. The 41 today picked up if that 4 people while the 41A had more people on it. The 41A should be renumbered to the 41 and the 41 section between Wallsend & Hadrian Park cut.

4, I do not understand why the 41/41A interwork patterns are so werid. Some 41 go to Howdon. Some finsh at Hadrian Park. There was 3 41/41A together all going to Wallsend
