Now.....if the BSIP money was also used to extend some 21's to Waldridge Park / Langley Park, it wouldn't be a bad move increasing the CLS-Newcastle section to every 7-8 minutes.

Heck (vehicles / route restrictions not taken into account)......could extend 1x 21 per hour as a 21A to keep the 'local' links, then maybe extend 1x X30/X31 per hour from Stanley down through South Moor and Quaking Houses to Edmomdsley then through to Langley Park as a faster link. Also potential to restore a more fast and direct Lanchester to Newcastle service there too!

Just giving examples how BSIP could be better used to actually restore links rather than propping up so called 'goldmines'
