Interesting choice to not have the X21 and X1 serve Newcastle. 21 can barely cope with loadings now, even at half term

I personally don't understand why the 27 and 57 are running through. Everyone on those routes can change at Heworth to get to Newcastle which will be negligible anyway (for the 27 and 57 beyond Heworth). 

Cutting the infrequent services is piss poor imo, it's all good saying get a bus 10 minutes earlier, but those people won't appreciate waiting around for 25/55 minutes in Gateshead when they miss their connection because you aren't doing that in 10 minutes.

That's before the lack of Metro integration, at all.
