So here's my suggestions... again.
Ashington Depot
34: Scrapped or contract returned to council, this service is not as busy as predicted as passenger levels are very low.
35/35A: Combined frequency upgraded to every 10 minutes. Meaning that the 35 runs every 20, and the 35A runs every 20 minutes too.
X21: Morning journeys and evening journeys that start and end at Ashington bus station, start at High Market instead.
X22: All journeys to stop serving High Market but follows 35 route from the old police station to the bus station. This allows for one vehicle to be used elsewhere.
X20: Revised to run at 30 past each hour from Ashington to Newcastle, to give passengers a choice between the X22 and X20.
Blyth Depot
S1: If the Cowpen station reopens, the S1 will provide links from Blyth Bus Station and Town Centre to the Cowpen Railway Station.
1/X1: New trial service X1 launched, providing journey times of 15-20 minutes from Ashington to Blyth, peak times only.
