I'm expecting their priority would have to be the routes where they have the monopoly. The 61/62, for example. No idea how we'll used the 61 is, but there will still be some we'll heeled pensioners cut off without it. People in brasside would have nothing without the 62, though. Most of the 64 is duplicated or has a not too distant alternative, but Newton Hall has no alternatives. Most of the people using it in NH are elderly or have walked to the Arnison centre and have heavy bags to carry back (I do the same from Fram, but have the 50 and 14 to fall back on.)

The 22 and 24 would at least have to offer a Sunday service and the Trimdons, Fishburn, Ferryhill and Sedgefield would still need to be served.
