Liking the ideas, not sure why Birtley needs a fast link to Heworth though? Heworth is nigh on the same distance from Birtley as Birtley-Newcastle. I can see more services through little Washington outposts when the new Morrisons opens in Birtley as alternatives to ASDA/Sainsburys
A few suggestions for me (apologies if I've mentioned these previously)
30 - Chester Le Street - Picktree - Barley Mow (not the Estate) Birtley - Birtley Station Lane - Ouston - Pelton - Pelaw - Chester Le Street (basically the old 734?)
Air1 - Durham Bus Station - Chester Le Street - Birtley - A1 - Newcastle Airport (hourly in the summer)
Revision to 28A route
As current to Kibblesworth then Team Valley Retail Park - Maingate then current route from Bensham
Revision to X22
As current to Birtley then via Lamesley or A1 to Retail World then to Metrocentre at driver discretion route
