Prehaps there should be temporary measures introduced heres some suggestions:

1 current frequency between Gateshead & Whitley Bay with 1 bus per hour continuing to metrocentre

41 withdrawn (hadrian park &;Battle Hill to Station Road have the 307/309 & Wallsend to Station Road have the 342 so it's a pretty pointless service anyway)

41A remains at every 60 mins (again Battle Hill and whiltshire drive to Wallsend doesn't seem like a popular passage)

Should sort the cobalt & Coasts and 1s fir cancellations and have cruise ship shuttles running when required as today

The Gateshead to Metro Centre side of the 1 (97) is a hell of a lot more popular than the other side, cutting it down to hourly would be up there with absolutely bonkers ideas.

A serious suggestion though would be drop all the buses on the Coast Road down to every 30 minutes. Arriva Blyth are just as bad the past few days and would help both sort the mess out.
