In an ideal world Stagecoach would be aggressively whacking in routes now...
Don't agree with Stagecoach, it's not really their area so doesn't make much sense. As soon as this is all over they'll be at a massive disadvantage as the depots are just in the wrong place.
It's Arriva who should be the ones, if anyone, especially the X12 corridor especially since GNE shot thereselves in the foot and shut Chester Le Street, Belmont being at the right side of the route. Similar if they really wanted to go for the A690 corridor, the depot literally sits on it.
South Tyneside is a weak area, they're probably happy they don't have it. It's dominated by the Metro and is mostly car orientated.
Obviously this is ignoring the driver and fleet issues mind.
