Allegedly there's service cuts coming in june cos driver shortage (bunch of people left over the strikes), and to reduce the amount of buses needed to replace the gassies, etc. Rumour is 15 min service and withdrawal of the 8 and 18. Other rumours are or have been; withdrawing the 11 between Quarry View and St Lukes, 20 min service on 10 and 11, increase of the Economics to every 20 mins (I'd eat my hat if that happens), replacement of the Gasbuses and E300s with the Hybrid 400s in Newcastle. Remember - these are just rumours.

I'd be very surprised if they aren't tbh - at least in the NE.
