Exactly this. Given the changes to one service and the renumbering from 265, to the 65, I'm not sure how the 78 being renumbered to the 7 - is 'change for changes sake'.

I thought this would have happened given there never seems to be many on that service between Newcastle and Gateshead anyway.

I would have to check in to the timetables, but I'm pretty sure having it cross the river is better from an ops perspective.
No additions to the PVR and it saves being parked up in the town for 20mins or so.
A bus that's moving has the potential to make more money than a bus standing still.
