There was an idea of a 64 route which I heard floated about but never seemed to get off the drawing board, from the sounds of it, it was a quicker loop service of shields road to west Denton park I believe, I don't know whether it was envisaged as a higher frequency route or a express route.

Yup, thats the 64 idea i heard, but it was only going to do F.L.E- West Denton Park, personally i'd re-introduce the 64 in its entirity, Forest Hall (Glebe Road)- Chapel House, thus allowing the 11 to revert to being West Denton- North Kenton, i do believe the proposed 64 was going to serve Central Station, but that wouldnt be needed now the 38 serves Forest Hall, the 63 could be sent back along Two Ball Lonnen to Stamfordham Road, and the 64 take its place along Netherby Drive, Silver Lonnen to Stamfordham Road
