It'll be interesting it's a big market and any company would jump at the chance to extend or have a new service18 to Forest Hall wont happen, it used to go to Forest Hall, they chopped it at both ends to become what it is now, it was replaced by the 6 and 7, which was then chopped and replaced by GNE's offering of the K3 which was withdrawn in full, and that was just before Covid
Wonder if we will get a big consultation list of services to be changed or extend. Stagecoach could benefit from it as well like extension of the 18 to Forest Hall or even Killingworth or even the 38. There's many chances for any of them to push for it. Even arriva themselves could do it. Could even slightly reroute some routes (X8/57A/ sping to mind round Annitsford. Just my opinion
The 38 also used to go to Forest Hall when it was the 38 and 64, the 38 was curtailed at the Freeman and replaced with the 18 and 19, the 64 was withdrawn in full and replaced with the current 63 which also replaced the 64A which ran evenings and Sundays, 19 was withdrawn later on and just became the 18 on its own
