Here is some changes I think would be good.
''Quorum Connect'' 16
The 16 would operate from Wallsend to Wansbeck Hospital via Walkergate, Heaton, Freeman Hospital, Quorum, Killingworth, Cramlington, Bedlington and Ashington. It would be a addition to the shortage of Go North East services in Northumberland. It would also reinstate a link previously provided by Arriva from Quorum to Ashington.
''Coaster'' 1
Would omit Marden Estate, operating along the coast to Whitley Bay.
''North Tyne Links''
Service 40 and 41 will operate every 30 mins. There would be no change to the route. A new 40A and 41A would be introduced. The new 40A would operate from Wallsend to North Shields via the current 40 route to Hadrian Park, then via Cobalt South, Norham Road and Royal Quays. Service 41A would operate via the current 41 route to Hadrian Park then beyond Hadrian Park to Whitley Bay via Cobalt, Rake Lane, Preston Grange and Madren Estate. Both of these services will provide good links for residents of Hadrian Park. Service 41A will partly replace service 80.
Service 80 would be withdrawn. However, a new North Shields Circular 80/80A would be introduced. They would run via Linskill Terrace, Tynemouth (Sea Banks and Grand Parade), Preston Grange, Rake Lane and Billy Mill. The 80 would operate clockwise, 80A anti clockwise. These woud provide new links, as well as replacing service 80 introduced.
''Wear Tees Express'' service X7
Service X7 would remain unchanged, but a new service X8 would be introduced. Service X8 would operate hourly, via the current X7 route to Peterlee, the current X35 route to Hartlepool (omitting Manor Way, Peterlee) then non-stop via the A19 to Middlesbrough, providing more regular links from Peterlee to Sunderland, as well as new links.
''Quaylink''
The Q2 would be extended to Walker Riverside. A new Q3 (credit to Adam M for the idea ) from Ouseburn to Metrocentre via Quayside, Baltic, Gateshead College, The Sage, Gateshead Interchange, Metrocentre Coach Park, Watermark, Metrocentre Interchange, Asda, Ikea, Red Quadrant, Green Quadrant, Blue Quadrant every 15 mins. This would replace service S1.
