No chance.
With frequency reduced and the inevitable drop in passengers that will bring, the next logical step will be to withdraw it completely with a change to the 49 group of services and customers told to change at Blaydon!
A prime example of how to destroy a bus route.
And, of course, once those passengers currently using the service are gone; they're gone. Increasing the frequency and reinstating the route to what it was won't bring them back.
