What are the chances of Stagecoach losing the 32/32A or 35 in the March changes?
Go North East might benefit from extending the 352/355 to Gateshead to compete with the 37/38.
I guess the 684 won't ever go back to 2 BPH?
To be fair most of these kind of already exist.
X1 = No real benefit the routes too short
X10/X11 = The 10/11 already are express on the Northern side and again otherside they're too short
X12 = Same as the X1
X37 = Arriva X7/X8/X10/X11, depending on location
X38 = Metro
X39/X40 = Metro to Wallsend and Byker, X82/684/685 on the Western side
X62/X63 = X63 already exists
I personally can't really see anywhere, where an express would work. I could be tempted to say swap the 71/72/87 and 63 around in the Fenham area though, 63 via Central Motorway, the others through Fenham. Might help both as one is dying and the other is too busy, with the 62/63 running non-stop between Cowgate and St James' Park
