And in any case you're still left with the same issue of not enough for the PVR. The 47/47A previously used those same Streetdecks and if they're covering part of the X46 route I'd hardly say they're that much less deserving. 


The 58 was just an example tbh, there's probably other worthy routes at Riverside. The 65 was not a new service though? It was just the old 265 increased in frequency to replace other services on common corridors. Hmm, GNE are currently suffering driver shortages...remove some routes oh suddenly no more driver shortage, so I don't think that's going to be an issue.

The only worthy route I can think of the Tyne Valley Ten there just wouldn't be enough.

I would say the 65 numbers are much higher than the old 265. 65 is always busy when i see it. 

I mean cancelling 28/25/62/62A/28A/X70/1 X31/4 going to every 15. Strangly enough GNE might have a few drivers free.
