30:-
Extension from Fawdon terminus to Fawdon Church via Hauxley Drive (bus gate?), on to Kingston Park Rd, Wansbeck Rd creating a loop at Jubilee Rd junction. Could be renumbered 30/30A to work clockwise/anti-clockwise.
35:-
From Salters Road, direct along Kenton Road (omit Welford Ave), normal route Fawdon Lane, Red House Farm, Kingston Park Road before turning on to Broadway West & Great North Rd serving Hollywood Ave (X46 can be removed?) and rejoining normal route at Gosforth High St. Renumbered 35/35A to work clockwise/anti-clockwise.
Disclaimer! I've no idea on timings!
Interesting idea but the X46 is needed for the estate further North. Personally, if using commercial services in that area I'd look at changing the 10/11 and creating a loop in the Fawdon area (yellow below) and you could just pull the 35 out the area completely. Once you've done that have the 35 every 30 minutes and splitting it at Broadway with one every hour heading West to Redhouse and the other heading North to Featherstone Park (green below). The blue being for reference of the 30/31. Maybe number them 34/35.
Would serve everything bar the odd missing link to Fawdon to Gosforth but I'd doubt it would be the end of the world and there's alternative services in walking distance anyway.
