The X70 seems to be an express through to gateshead/eldon from tantobie.
The routes are now just all longer, I don't think the restructuring has been handled very well.
V6/V5 are merged into V5 (V6's evening route)
On sundays..
X71 now interworks with 47, the other 47 journey clearly runs back onto itself.
I can't find any sensible option for minibus work on sunday, either.
16s are now full trips.
16A looks like it can easily line up with the metros given their hour frequency.
Would it be sensible to bring low-cost drivers to do a single route (15A)? I'm not so sure.
Previously the solos on a sunday spent a lot of time doing dead milage so I'm not surprised this is looking like its to be changed. I think we'll see the B9s come off the 47 and any work on sunday (somebody mentioned this had incorrectly already happened, but maybe kept on for the isolated 47s), and probably just 5451, 5419, 5254 (or any spare streetlites) run the X71/47.

This is not true. There were only Eldon to Consett runs on a sunday.

The other 47 will interwork with the 6!!, 6 and x30 won't interwork, Sunday's 15a will operate with big buses and also the M6, 16a & X30 will interwork, the last info was NO minibuses working on Sundays, unless the plan has changed.
