Any extension of the 35 would need Arriva to agree a price with Northumberland CC - assuming that Arriva are interested in such things, given the current driver shortage.

So it does, hadn't had the chance to check the timetables yet.

Lancaster Park and Northgate estates suffer from their own developers' incompetence, Lancaster Park itself could've been a useful loop but it's been severed halfway. Similar happens again at Northgate, where The Meadows and St Andrews Gardens aren't linked together to create a loop from Geranium Drive to Fennel Way - it would've been perfect for bus services - and enough people to justify Newcastle through services to both too.

The whole Morpeth bus network needs a rethink, because the 2/35/X14/X15/X18 are barely tapping into any potential customers who have been left with these 41x routes.
