I'd love to see the expected ROI of that...   Or what would you cut to in order to avoid a "conga line" of even more buses crossing the river? I'd like to know, as those are the things that would dictate such as request.

Or maybe, Gateshead and Heworth Interchange works.....

Who has mentioned anything about cutting or spending additional resource?

Youre making lots of assumptions here mind. 

It's not about that and never has been about that.
It is about a network of services that haven't filled a gap. A gap created by de-reg, but one that is still filled by the system set up prior to de-reg.

Let's make the network better. Let's improve what we've got, rather than stagnate and put up with the same old.
