They added an extra bus during the evening (ran by Ashington) but it seems to have no affect for the Gosforth area to Cramlington. The 43 will run quite late results in either a 43 or 44 or a 45 being cancelled due to late running
I don't quite understand what you mean.
The 43s will have 14 minutes of layover at Morpeth, as they do at the moment. Since the timetable change the 43s seem to be quite robust, with the main issue being on a Saturday which is being fixed in these changes given the frequencies between Newcastle and Cramlington are increasing. Since the last changes where the extra bus was put into the PVR I've not noticed any cancellations of 43-45s due to late running, bar on a Saturday.
The evening extension to Morpeth, as well as the increase during the day and the Sunday, I imagine may be BSIP related. A service between Morpeth and Cramlington on an evening and Sunday has been needed for a while.
