This is a hypothetical of course but if you're using the Arriva services then personally I'd look at recasting the whole lot and moving the X9 into it something like this with each service every 30 minutes and the pointless 58 binned off at the same time:
With the current X9 running with the X10/X11 and upping that back upto every 10 minutes.
Other than Dudley going down from 4 BPH to 2 BPH, there's pretty much winners everywhere really. I know it's a PVR increase of course but the West side of Cramlington is poorly served considering the huge new housing developments popping up round there, be nice to deal with them properly instead of it being another, oh there's houses - we need to find a bus scrambling around as usual. The buses are heaving through Gosforth aswell so a bus every 5 minutes is warranted imo and the X10/X11 have decent loads aswell, be nice to try and grow some routes for a change rather than constant cuts cuts cuts.
