Well there was nout wrong with the 44 bar the fact that:
- It served Norham Road and New York rather than Billy Mill and Lynn Road and as a result, didn't make much money.
- Missed out Hillheads which would've boosted the income of the 44.
If they had've done this with a PVR of 3 or 4 minus the Hazlerigg to Newcastle section, the service would've made enough money to be sustained:
- Haymarket, St Mary's then fast to Willington Square then fast to Norham Road / Formica, then observing all 308 stops to Park Avenue, loop around via York Road then down to Marden down the Broadway following clockwise loop via Hartingdon Road, Ennerdale Road and Farringdon Road before going back up the Broadway to Whitley Bay and Newcastle.
