If the Blyth Gigaplant takes off, maybe an extension to the 309 or even the 1 to create links within North Tyneside (areas not covered by the train) would be an opportunity.
The Arnison has been there for 30 or so years. They have had more than enough time to establish demands and travel patterns and they've still not covered off anything from Lanchester way - despite people living in the area, working and shopping at the Arnison.
Ditto Retail World (which was built in the 80s) and apart from the 91, 809 and diverting the 183 for a short while, they've done barely anything other than the 93 and 94 and regularly see them stuck in the traffic jams caused by people who can't or won't use public transport.
Follingsby Park is one to take advantage of and it's a good thing they've started serving it. It's just a shame that those regulars on the 4 are affected by a diversion and see longer journeys as a result.
