Depends where people are going, the X7/X8/309 are the same bus route give or take out of Blyth. How many people realistically are going to travelling beyond Whitley Bay to Newcastle, it's a long detour when the X10/X11 exist.

The X7/X8/309 should be all next to each other and so should the 1/2/X9 so it's not just the 308/309. None of them are atm either but good luck trying to do that (I just tried).

Best I'd say is

Stand 1: X10/X11/X30(NCL)
Stand 3: X7/X8
Stand 4: 308/309
Stand 5: X9
Stand 6: 1/2/X30(Cowpen)
WB: Abandoned

It should be doable after all the cuts. Agreed it's a mess now mind, the X7 and X8 is the worst, least the 308/309 are on the same side of the road!
