Am I missing something here.

Aren't service suggestions supposed to be just that, suggestions of new services and not suggestions of old withdrawn services reintroduced 

Not having a go at you here ASX, just noticed a lot of your suggestions tend to be previous services 

I know you have suggested a lot of services previously under the guise of new operators, which I'd like to see, but I think you need to move on from resurrecting old services.

Quick question, how many heliports are located in the North East. Could you build them everywhere and create a flying taxi/rideshare network.

Just a few suggestions regarding several routes around Gateshead & Washington, which looks at the lesser used routes to try and improve usage & offer some new connections too.

8: With the introduction of Service X78 & 83, this service would be reduced in frequency to every 60 minutes daily.

22: Evening and Sunday journeys will be reintroduced for this service between Gateshead and Wrekenton only.

37: This service is withdrawn & merged with Service 83.

67: This service is proposed to be withdrawn between QE Hospital and Wardley, parts of this section of route are replaced by Service 82. However, daytime links between Wardley and Metrocentre will be maintained through adjustments made to service 92.

69: This service is proposed to be withdrawn between QE Hospital and Wardley & replaced by Service 82. However, daytime links between Wardley and Blaydon/Winlaton will be maintained through adjustments to service 92.

NEW X78: This new express service will introduce faster journey times between Consett and Sunderland, with the idea of this benefiting people making longer distance journeys, aswell as faster links to popular destinations such as Beamish, Washington Galleries & Waterview Park from places that currently don't have those fast transport links.

The service will only call into Beamish Museum during the times when it is open to the public, otherwise journeys will bypass Beamish via the A693.

(Consett | Nonstop | Stanley Bus Station | Beamish Museum* | A693 | Chester-le-Street | Nonstop | Washington Galleries | Peel A1231 Slip Road | Waterview Park | A1231/A19 | Hastings Hill | Chester Road | Royal Hospital | Sunderland Interchange)

81: Service would be withdrawn & replaced by increase in journeys on service 82.

The section of route between Sunderland and Waterview Park is withdrawn without replacement, although service 8 will continue to provide coverage on this section of route.

The section of route between Wrekenton and Gateshead is replaced by an increase in journeys on service 22.

82: This service is revised to operate daily from morning till night, with a new extension to Wardley to replace the section of route on service 69.

The single journey on the 82A is withdrawn, without replacement.

All journeys will serve Heworth Interchange to open up new links to Birtley.

Only Mon - Sat daytime journeys will serve Ravensworth Road and Lansbury Drive in Birtley, aswell as Kirkwood Gardens in Wardley.

(Waterview Park | Teal Farm | Barmston Court | Washington Village | Washington Galleries | Barmston | Ayton | Barley Mow | Portmeads | Birtley | Ravensworth Road | Lansbury Drive | Wrekenton High Street | QE Hospital | Felling Square | Heworth Interchange | Fewster Square | Kirkwood Gardens | Wardley Turning Circle)

NEW 83: This service will operate between Doxford Park Shops and Coach Road Estate, similar to the original 37 route, although the service will additionally cover Washington Village and Barmston Court.

This service will combine with service 82 to offer two buses per hour between Washington, Barmston Court, Teal Farm and Waterview Park.

(Doxford Park Shops | Doxford International | East Herrington | Herrington Burn | Shiney Row | Biddick Woods | Washington Galleries | Washington Village | Barmston Court | Teal Farm | Waterview Park | Peel Retail Park | Sulgrave | Concord | Coach Road Estate)

84/85: These services will no longer serve Coach Road Estate, with new service 83 revised to cover this section.

90: The single journey on this service would be withdrawn & replaced by an improved daytime service 92, which will incorporate services & help maintain links.

91: This service would be withdrawn & replaced by extensions on services 93/94 to offer daytime links between Team Valley and Newcastle.

92: This service is revised to operate as a frequent hourly service during Monday to Saturday daytimes.

This new service will run between Wardley and Winlaton, offering new links between Metrocentre and Team Valley Retail Park, aswell as offering additional buses to different parts of Eastern & Western Gateshead.

(Winlaton | Blaydon Bus Station | Metrocentre Interchange | Dunston, Ellison Road | Bensham, Victoria Road | Team Valley North End | Team Valley Retail Park | Harlow Green | Wrekenton High Street | Springwell Village | Fewster Square | Wardley Kirkwood Gardens | Wardley Turning Circle)

93/94: All journeys heading direct to Team Valley will commence from Newcastle during Monday to Saturday Daytimes.

93s from Team Valley are extended to Newcastle via Gateshead.
94s towards Team Valley via Gateshead will commence from Newcastle.
