A: Barley Mow, Portobello, Birtley & Lamesley to Team Valley then express to Newcastle.
B: Grange Villa, Newfield, Pelton Fell & Chester-Le-Street then onto Newcastle.
C: Washington to Chester-Le-Street via Lambton, Ayton & A1M (Soon to Disappear)
D: Washington to Team Valley via A1 then express to Newcastle
E: Waldridge Park to Gateshead & Newcastle
Notes:
A or D could replace 91 (Team Valley - Newcastle)
B could replace 703D
B, C & D could be merged very easily with a PVR of 2 if Hourly.
E could replace 701D
I reckon they would go a long way in attracting people from their cars (assuming frequency, journey times and price are competitive to the equivalent car journey).
