Stagecoach or Arriva aren't going to agree this. Why would / should they give up their frequency / more popular corridor via Linskill to the 1 which is subsidised in the evening.

I know you like GNE but Stagecoach aren't going to bail out their crap operations in North Tyneside.

Not to mention you've just cut Throckley to Newcastle from 6 buses an hour to 4 buses an hour for no reason at all.
