I was thinking about Peel Retail Park and Sulgrave, but they both have a 30 min frequency at present with the M2 and M3.
The other concern I had was with the running time. Ideally the daytime run would be no longer than 35 minutes, which should allow it to be ran with 5 buses. I'd hope the evening and Sunday run would take no longer than 25 mins, which would allow it to be ran with a single bus.
The thought behind the extension to CLS on an evening and Sunday was to provide a 30 min frequency between there and Washington Galleries. At present, you only have the 50/50A running every hour, as the 8 doesn't run on a Sunday. During the day isn't such an issue though, as you already have 4 buses an hour running between the same points.
How's about this then.
Heworth - Sulgrave - Peel Retail Park - Waterview Park - Teal Farm - Washington Village - Glebe - Washington Galleries - Harraton - Rickleton - Picktree Village - Chester le Street
