62: Throckley to Killingworth
63: Middle Callerton to Killingworth
64: Westerhope area somehow doing as much of the 71/72 as possible to Four Lane Ends
All 3 BPH
There's no need for 4 BPH at the Killingworth end either but the extra bus running through the core would do wonders.
71/72/87 withdrawn.
If you timed the 11 to run with the 62/63 you could have 9 BPH from West Denton to Newcastle aswell and the 36 to run with the 63 you could have 6 BPH from Fenham rather than the 4 BPH and 3 BPH on top of each other.
See now the 63 is going to Middle Callerton the 64 could now been restored in full and combined with the 62 and 63 every half an hour 62/63 Killingworth Bus Station- Southgate 30 mins each (15 combined) 63/64 Great Lime Road-West Denton, then they combine with the 62 Four Lane Ends-West Denton i theory providing the same frequency as now and the 62 between Southgate -Quorum- Longbenton, is that really an issue being every 30 mins when theres the 18/335/352/354/355 aswell it also would mean the 11 to Chapel House wouldnt be needed as the 64 used to run Forest Hall Shops- Chapel House
