(2 hours ago)Malarkey wrote Literally impossible to improve reliability on these services let's be honest with all the major works i.e. Tyne Bridge Restoration, Gateshead Flyover Demolition, Traffic Diversions pretty much all via Redheugh Bridge causing severe gridlock at peak times with diversions via Centrelink cutting off services to Askew Road West. 

Central Station is a nightmare particularly if there has been disruption on the Rail Network resulting in pick ups and drops off exceeding capacity limits to the short stay car park. Then you have Ubers that think they can park up wherever they bloody like blocking access to bus stops need I continue to go on with this one. 

At this point probably the only thing I would do is rather than have them all interworking is I would have them all as standalone services which may increase PVR/Driver Required.

imo if you're increasing the PVR, it'd be better to restore the 11/604 in some of form and having the 10B and 10A extension as part of it. 

Means less buses by the MetroCentre and a clean 2 BPH on the 10/10A. The 12/24/24 or 24/36 timetables and the 10A variants around Greenside are messy and confusing imo.
