Aye you're probably right there to be fair.

That would of course be dependent on getting through the weight restricted junction on to Brunton Lane (and picking an appropriate & more direct route through Great Park). A lot of ifs and buts.
To be fair the idea there was more about sorting Cramlington out so we don't have round 2 of this in a few years time.

People from the Cowpen area won't be happy when the X9 is forced to do a massive diversion around the world to try and cover as much as you can, so move them onto the express corridor and move the 4 BPH from the 43 to the West of Cramlington and grow both corridors imo. The only loser is Dudley and the place is tiny who would get 2 BPH instead but it's more than enough, with the 352 and 37 anyway.
