It starts at 0500 which isn’t so usual these days and last journeys finished after midnight so it’s only few extra trips through the night to make 20 hours a day
Yeah agreed, and they're arguably the busiest bus routes in the North East. If they can't get them to work, then nothing is going to work, including buses to an airport.
Like you could arguably make the argument for sending the 62/63 via the 1 route between Newcastle and Chillingham Road to serve the student areas to better serve there as let's be honest there's probably not going to be many people wanting to go to Byker from Heaton and Killingworth at 3am or whatever and the 39/40 would do the core Newcastle <> Byker links anyway.
