Yeah totally agreed. Now if there was enough drivers, including backend staff, who openly want to work enough to provide a decent skeleton service then fair play then but I'd doubt it. 

Definitely disagree with normal service though including a Sunday timetable. 

Mind that said if we are going to run services I wish they'd do special timetables. I really don't see the point in the running the X10 to Blyth stopping no-where or the X1 running non stop along Sheriff Hill, waste of limited resources imo. 

For Blyth Northumbria the X7 (all stop), X9 (all stop through Gosforth) and 43 would be the better 3 services to run as it would give pretty much all of the Blyth areas some form of service.
