X89 - Blyth - Plessey Road - Newsham - A192 - B1326 Wheatfields - B1326 Barley Meadows then non stop via A189 to Newcastle.

PVR of 3x with 30 min frequency. Success would depend on frequency of ABTRL. Leaflet drops around the Wheatfields & Barley Meadows Estates with some around the top end of Seaton Delaval

That wouldn't succeed, Arriva tried a peak extra with a similar route with the X7 (not the current X7) but via Seaton Delaval and Seghill instead in areas with more demand and it couldn't fill a minibus nevermind a double decker. GNE is also totally out of area in Blyth and should be an Arriva route either way.
