306 would interwork with the 308 on Sunday only
43/44/45 would interwork during the day but then interwork with the 52/53 on evenings & Sundays
52/53/54 interworked (54 was standalone on Sundays)
57/57A interwork (still do)
X7/X8/X9 interwork (still do to some sorts)
55 standalone
46/46A/51/51A interworked
Now it's an absolute mess. Its hard to tell what interworks with what
51/52/53/54 interwork (the 51 replacing the dropped 54)
43/44/45 interwork
X7/X8/X9 interwork
X10/X11 interwork
306/308 interwork
55 standalone
That's the interworking patterns now.
If you're trying to work it out from Bustimes that's just Blyth regulating buses and trying to sort out delays out with the serious issues on the X7/X8 since the changes mainly caused by the roadworks at Gosforth Park and now the road closure from South Gosforth to Blue House Roundabout.
I'm not sure what the terms we're for moving depots but it appears that a lot of driver's have opted for Blyth who aren't having too many problems rather than Ashington (Walkergate) which aren't running anything pretty much.
