When the ferry is off the tickets are accepted on the 10/11 but go nowhere near the Ferry and walking up the bank is a pain. Plus the tickets are also accepted on the Metro sometime and the 10/11 link at Jarrow and would make a great connectionMost of the time X34/24 dont even use the felling by-pass they go past heworth into Newcastle the way the 27 does, it would add maybe a minute.
Also other services suggested would be route changes. Having the X24/X34 serve Heworth would be a massive bonus for metro when it goes down. And extended the X34 to South Shields Interchange as well
Also X34 no need to serve South Shields interchange unless you want the loop to be much bigger

That would be stupid. Equally, the 36 route exists to provide local links between Fenham Hall Drive (and Sacred Heart school) and Denton Burn, Scotswood, Benwell, etc (as the 30/31 depending on direction) and has done so for many decades. Your 64/71/72/87 proposal removes these links unnecessarily. There are some instances where if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it and these are those occasions.So what would you change?
