Depends what your comparing to though, GNE have already had one round of heavy cuts. How on earth they can tell whether they're the right changes or not is mystery considering during that same period half the buses have been cancelled due to driver shortages.
Stagecoach Newcastle and Arriva Northumbria have already had their BRG cuts so if there's anymore cuts up there, GNE Percy Main will no doubt in the firing line again aswell. There's still way too many buses along the Coast Road which is going to have to change at some point.
Mind I could imagine Stagecoach South Shields, Hartlepool and Sunderland being grim when they come round.
