Hopefully they make them every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 20 on a Sunday because sometimes the single deckers are full before you leave Killingworth…

Quite surprisingly it is quite a positive move if you think about it...
Not only is it creating an evening bus early morning night bus from city centre via Byker then Chilli Road - I would actually divert it to go via Sainsbury then freeman hosp and back along to FLE metro to Quorum (Greggs country-style foods) continuing to Killingworth to house a very large housing area on the loop but it also serves the factory with a short walk to west Rock Burradon Camperdown for Fenwick and John Lewis factory.
You also have cleaners but there a 91 service that could connect at Byker heading to Team Valley very early so linking FLE metro and Chilli Road Metro for first commuters is also beneficial
Country foods has also reccently took on the old Rowantree food site at Fawdon so if that has early morning shifts I can see possibly an agreement in the future for another early morning service perhaps?
Creating night buses is what we should welcome as it opens options wether it's the drunks in town to cleaners starting early morning to workers finishing in the city centre in the hospitality sector
We need more night buses after all nearly a quarter of all jobs in the North east are actually nightshift work!
