(3 hours ago)220631612 wrote A half hourly service from Chopwell and Blackhall Mill into Consett seems excessive, as my own opinion, it should be the 10A running up to Consett hourly, or even better, the reintroduction of the V9 with like you said the (x)46 reintroduced to keep Consett-Newcastle every 15 along that corridor.

Aye that's my thoughts aswell, I'd be tempted to try and change the routes a little bit at Consett though and fund it as part of a subsidy, maybe something like:


The areas in white currently have zero bus service (which is a serious issue) and the areas in the blue don't have a service to Newcastle, with Meadomsley getting a better service to boot. 

Can't see where the complaints would come from tbh, as long as the 10A extension went via the retail park from Blackhill.
