TB14 costs £50k a year and the ridership is running at a huge loss - this is where the old dial a ride would be far more effective.

Noticed that the 787 says "Airport to Byker" yet it was consulated to go to Wallsend. The proposed timetable was also perfect for the hour frequency as well so clue what they're going to about the new times or PVR
