Tbh, I just think there's too many 60's from Killingworth to Byker. Like how many people really want to go there? There's nothing really anything inbetween to serve either which warrants 8 BPH either. 3 BPH is more than enough as long as there's the extensions ie. the 61/64 there to cover the unique parts of the 62/63. The 37/38 is just a better service as it's quicker to Newcastle, serves a hospital on the way, and also goes further into Newcastle and gives a direct link to Central Station where people might actually want to be imo.
The 18 to Cramlington also makes sense as it gives a Cramlington / Burradon to or from Byker/Walker link. Okay there's probably not much demand there but there's zero demand for a bus to Newcastle via that route. The 37/38(Short)/38(Long)/38A is also a bit confusing atm as an understatement aswell.

11- Chapel House extension removed, frequency unchanged
37- re-routed and curtailed at Forest Hall Shops, remains every half an hour and together with the 38 offers a 15 minute service to the Freeman from the entirity of Forest Hall
38- remains every 30 mins to Forest Hall Meadway Estate
48- Wallsend- Great Park via Walker, Byker, City Centre, Jesmond, Gosforth, Regent Centre, NEW SERVICE every 30 mins interworking with the 49 at Great Park
62- reduced to every 30 mins and the Terminus revised to Throckley
63- reduced to every 30 mins and re-routed via Benton Lane, The Quorum, and West Moor to cover the loss of the 37
64- Chapel House to Cramlington via Byker, Chillingham Road, Four Lane Ends, Forest Hall, East Bailey, West Bailey, Camperdown/Burradon, Dudley NEW SERVICE every 30 minutes replacing the 11, 37, and 63, the service number also fits in better with other services in the area
Not a bad shout! Arguably gives everyone a better service with probably same resource as now!
