63 reduce to half hourly, bit of clever planning between GNE and Stagecoach could maintain the 15 minute frequency
64 extend that to Meadway in place of the 38 half hourly
Not a bad shout that really. To be fair if I was doing that I'd probably just hold it off for now.
There's that massive Killingworth Moor development coming soon and if you had the 38 or 63 depending which one ends at Meadway sitting there, when they're out splashing the cash for a service you could easily send it through.
Not sure it would be the end of the world if Stagecoach binned the Meadway loop, I'd imagine most people use the Metro round there anyway bar those furthest away who'd still have a bus on Great Lime Road anyway.
