Why the hell is the 41 (340) still a service. At this point the 41A (341) should just go every 15 minutes as since the 342 is now doing a pointless trip to benton rise for some unknown reason. Like just why does this 41 still exist. Once the 342 goes to Benton Rise every 30 watch the 41 passenger numbers drop. 41A has always been the better of the two since u do not need the 41 to exist since it's a 2-5 minute walk from the bus stops of the 41 to the bus stops of the 41A. Plus why bother with the 41 if it just follows the 307 into Hadrian Park. It's stupid they are keeping this service and makes zero sense

The 41/41A go in via Station Road and the 342 go in via West Street. They're two completely different bus services, bar 2 bus stops on Station Road.

Personally I'd do

341: Every 20 Minutes, Wallsend to Hadrian Park avoiding Wiltshire Drive
342: Every 30 Minutes, Wallsend to Killingworth via Wiltshire Drive, extended to Kingston Park hourly

It's a much better service, which should be doable with the same PVR as you'd just take one PVR off the 340/341 and use it to boost the 342 short from Benton Rise to Killingworth instead.
