New links will be created and all services will benefit from newer vehicles being allocated (which, on paper, will provide a more reliable service with fewer breakdowns). Passengers will also benefit from features such as Wi-Fi and Next Stop Announcements which they did not previously.
Friendly reminder of this post, pointing out a pessimistic assumption of cuts based on a few VOSA registrations. I hope said person can man up and admit that they were wrong!
As I'm not from the area, i can't comment on the changes as if i use the services everyday but as an enthusiast point of view, they look decent although nearly 2 hours from Whitley Bay to the Metrocentre bit to long for me....
Shame that they once again missed the opportunity to merge the 64 with another route..... lol
