I don’t see why the 32/32A can’t operate via Springfield Road & Stamfordham Road instead of Ponteland Road which, already has numerous buses anyway. I have suggested to Stagecoach a few times but they don’t seem to be interested.
10/11 could operate a loop around Kenton Bar and North Kenton providing a more direct service to the City Centre than the 32 for example Kenton Lane, Kenton Bar Estate, North Kenton, Halewood Avenue Shops.
It's a shame Arriva withdrew the 9X. The 32 does operate along Springfield Road towards Walker for an early morning trip Monday to Friday. Did the 808 always run along Springfield Road? Remember the 9X very well.
Stagecoach don't seem to change anything much really. At least Springfield Road has buses at Ponteland Road and Stamfordham Road, but as Not in Service buses run along there it makes sense to give it a service.
Be nice to see the 808 run more frequently and perhaps extended to Wallsend.
