The SNE changes in Newcastle hit the "secondary routes" such as the 18, 32, 35 etc, and many of the proposed GNE changes are to their secondary routes e.g. 25, 55, 82 - there are several GNE proposed changes that seem odd mind you, cutting Beamish off from Newcastle by bus for example.
It's core to their model working.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that a big proportion of those people on the full 21 will not live or work on Durham Road.
It goes without saying that removing a handful of spokes off my bike wheel, will have an impact on the structure of the whole thing.
