Obviously it would have to run a bit earlier and later though.
Was more just about tidying up the 301/96 duplication and X30/X31/X70/X71 mess as I'm sure places like Meadomsley etc would like a bus to Gateshead rather than Whickham and Stanley would like a bus there in the evening and on a Sunday (Whickham is covered by the 6).
Potentially looking out of a bedroom window and seeing your employer across the river, but it somehow taking 2 or 3 buses and over an hour vs driving there OR getting a direct bus, which follows the same route as the car would take...
The ideal opportunity for BSIP to be used effectively.
