While you're at it, might as well scrap the 49A between Metrocentre and Gateshead since it just duplicates the 49. It's unfair for people in Dunston to have 4 buses an hour! Oh, then there's the 10s, everyone can just change at Crawcrook since they all duplicate each other to Newcastle.
It would make more sense for passengers for Arriva to pull the Durham-West Auckland 6, and have GNE run a half hourly to West Auckland, and Arriva run a half hourly to Cockfield, with mutual ticket acceptance.
And the 35 between Barnes Park and East Herrington.
And you might aswell just only run the 47 between Blackhall MIll and Rowlands Gill.
Then you might aswell curb all the buses at Metro and just have the X45 extended to Newcastle.
