That's how I see it running, unless Newcastle single deckers get updated and we get their DDA Alx300's/e300's (from 100), which would be more beneficial for reserves.
No way for the 52 and 34 to interwork - the 52 being every 12 minutes and the 34 being every 30 minutes rules that out straight away. The only way to split the 34 away from the Middlesbrough services would be to revert back to the original operation and interwork it with the 35 - which would then have the added bonus of helping the relaiblity of the 35.
