Just to pick out some:
Last 306 hour earlier
306 frequency reduction
308 frequency reduction in Blyth and Billy Mill areas.
307 too slow from North Shields area with a tour of Hadrian Park. 
Most areas of old 75/76 still don't have a bus in particular the Monkseaton area 
Marden still don't have acceptable bus to Newcastle from the side away from the Metro 

People have a right to complain. It's not their fault that there's a scrap along the Coast Road. Ticket acceptance doesn't benefit any of the above and there's no need for a bus every 10 minutes from Blyth to Whitley Bay imo.

I'm glad someone has been able to summarise the changes. I'd started comparing, but hadn't had a chance to complete the task.

It's quite remarkable that even with a joined up project like this, there's very little joined up thinking.
A huge opportunity to press the reset button and find out what the punters living, working, studying and travelling along that corridor (whether that by car, bus, rail, bike or foot) and find out what they needed or wanted from their public transport offering.

Instead, we've got more of the same old. Just with a service that's arguably not as good.
