Not serving Eastfield Drive in Cramlington, not serving Amersham Drive in Blyth to name 2. They're definitely trying to push people to the X7/X9.IMO, the X8 is deadwood and it could do with replacement to streamline the Blyth 'X' routes and actually open up some handy links. The 42/43/43A would open up:
- High Pit, NSECH, Annitsford to Dudley, Seaton Burn, Wideopen, Gosforth and Newcastle. Also there being a 'direct' service from Newcastle to NESCH. Could even add an extra stop on the hospital approach road to attract residents living in the Barley Meadows Estate.
- Blyth, South Beach, Shankhouse and Parkside to Dudley, Seaton Burn and Wideopen.
The 42 would also have a hell of a lot of time to play with even serving NESCH meaning most conjestion at Moor Farm roundabout shouldn't be a problem.
NOTE: Apologies to the mods for posting a suggestion in this thread. However, I did feel it was relevant given the changes to the X8
