My response to this....
"This is an unfair choice.... Why not do a clockwise vs anticlockwise route...
For Example (coming from town);
10 - Hylton Rd | Pallion Rd | Fordfield Rd | St Lukes Rd | Meldon Rd | St Lukes Terrace | Hylton Rd (clockwise)
11 - Hylton Rd | St Lukes Terrace | St Lukes Rd | Fordfield Rd | Pallion Rd (anti-clockwise)
This way, people can still have the same journey times with the perks of better short local connections. Such as I always get the 11 to Pallion Shops (as I live there) so would have a signifcantly longer journey home and vice versa for those that live on the 10 route but longer to town. This way no journeys are longer and people can still rely on the improved 4 bph on both sections just on either side of the road. People wouldn't mind this anyways as the bus tops would not change for the journeys to/from town just the number and if they just missed one they could cross the road for the next bus (albeit slightly longer journey but still quicker than waiting 30 mins)"
And as my mam uses the 22 in Newcastle often, I have asked them to keep the frequency the same but out either full or a mixture of single/decker allocations to better suit when the route goes quiet.
