My favourite topic
It's quite telling how few destinations are being served now (as a terminus). I can only count Chester Le Street, Durham, Wrekenton, Kibblesworth and Middlesbrough - Which isn't many
It is also telling how relatively poor the amount of buses per hour directly into Newcastle from Low Fell is now compared to what it used to be. Now there is just one direct GNE service which serves all stops along the Durham Road corridor that serves Newcastle direct (8 per hour), where as there used to be a whole host of them before GNE took on the 21 (231, 709, 722, 723, 724, 728, 735) plus all of the Gateshead depot services (24, 25 etc.). I know people would say that a 7/8 minute frequency is good, but that's quite a bit less than it has been in the past.
