725/25 is just DCC/NEXUS incompetence
Doesn't matter, it's about getting more people onto buses. The 4 being every 15 minutes or 20 minutes won't make bot all difference to most people. The 56 in Coundon being every hour vs every 30 minutes is a game changer especially if it ran in the evening. Those communities are currently cut off.
I'd be targeting to get every route at least every 30 minutes in urban areas ie the 25, 351 (scrap W2), 10A/10B, 81/82, X10 (NCL to Peterlee), X70/X71.
For most the routes you listed, you'd be better spending the money on infrastruture improvements on those corridors to speed up the buses, if you could knock off 5 minutes off each route, due to congestion, that could pretty much up the frequency by doing nothing as the current resources can do more.
