Let the great park and the subsidised service keep away from making journey times longer for the villages of brunswick, hazlerigg and dinningiton. Its bad enought that the " great park" was build on green belt in the first place and is slowly taking over, including a nature reserve at the top of hazlerigg!
I get your feelings there but I wouldn't say it's robbing Peter to pay Paul here as that would be taking something away from someone, ie sending the 44 to the Great Park and leaving Hazlerigg without a service at all.
Everywhere has the same service as now, some areas more services since there's more through Wideopen etc. The only loss is literally Dinnington to Hazlerigg, Dinnington's second service going via the Great Park instead which means it misses the traffic around Gosforth Park aswell. Brunswick isn't impacted at all.
If you wanted to keep the Hazelrigg to Dinnington links you could always restore the 342 via the airport, the passengers doing that might be enough to make it feasible, the links to the airport from this way are dire and would be useful for workers etc.
