Would of liked to see service 4 from Houghton down to Burnside then the route of the old 160 service to fence houses then normal 4 route to Heworth. the proposed X2 would cover the section between Houghton and Fence Houses connection.
As for the 4A, Coming out of Houghton it will go down Station Road onto Drinkburn Cresent and along Blind Lane and up Success Road to Philadelphia, alternatively could it turn right off of Blind Lane and go up Coaley Lane to Newbottle and down to Philadelphia, either way the routing is a various of the old 294/493, used to use the 294/493 to my Grandparents when they were Alive as they lived on Blind Lane, we used to go to the Beehive for Lunch sometimes also.
