In my opinion there should be one express route, running on the lines of this every 20 minutes or so - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.83359...67!1m0!3e0 pushed in a similar way to what the X1 is like between Newcastle, Washington, Houghton and beyond.
With a bunch of slower routes hoovering up all the villages incorporating the 6, 16 between Stanley and Consett, X30/X31 between Whickham and Newcastle, X45, 47, X71, X72 and 78 between Stanley and Consett.
It's far too slow between Consett and Stanley to Gateshead and that route from Consett to Newcastle is no longer than the current X45 or X71 and would give Leadgate, Castleside and Anfield Plain a much much better service to the main place they actually want to go to.
How would you suggest wrapping other services around this?
