So Blyth, Whitley Bay and North Shields wouldn't be a drop in the ocean.Will they?
Driver changeovers would just be done at Haymarket.
I'd imagine there will be a change in timetables and running boards to mitigate the dead mileage.
Whether that be buses terminating short of Hexham to cut down on the dead mileage back to Riverside or something else.
Ditto with the 21/X21 boards.
