Suggestions for Newcastle and North Tyneside:
8 run along Springfield Road instead of Blakelaw Road in Blakelaw, with the Phoenix 808 running along Ponteland Road instead. Peter Hogg 131 diverted off Ponteland Road onto Springfield Road as it serves Central Station the same as the 8.
12 and 22 swap routes in Byker, run Wallsend 12 as 13 and extend it Fenham - West Denton
18 withdrawn. New GNE service perhaps, with some changes.
Scrap 32/32A and run 84/84A instead West Denton - Slatyford - Fenham - Newcastle - Benwell - Cowgate - Kenton.
62/63 curtailed in the city centre, with X62/X63 running South Gosforth - Killingworth. 62/63 Chapel House and North Walbottle to City Centre. Killingworth has too many buses!
74 taken on to compliment the 71/72 and 685.
Any ideas?
If you look at the routes serving Killingworth, they mainly come from different directions taking people to the shops beside the bus station. The route between the bus station and West Moor is served by a lot of these routes but then branch off in different directions to serve different areas. Which routes would serve Chillingham Road if the 62/63 were curtailed in the City Centre, a very frequent service to nothing at all?
