The core of the route gaining a 10 minute service from the new punters being gained from the new estates doing something like:
There's arguably destinations at all the white X's where people might want to travel across the route for creating a useful loop for the local area. This is the sort of stuff where BSIP should be spent, since the extra passengers gained from the new estates could boost the rest of the route to make it commercially viable at an enhanced frequency.
It's not as if they can say it duplicates other services as none of that corridor has a decent service North to Washington/Tyneside.
Obviously the road needs to be built first though.
So a 4 and 4A or just the 4 on its own?
