I suppose it's easier to avoid telling people directly what's being withdrawn though. From what I can see:
Monday-Friday
- 0630 starting from Downhill to the Enterprise Park is withdrawn.
- 0828 starting from Newcastle is retimed to start at 0832, but is now curtailed to Sunderland Interchange
- 4 journeys instead of 6 now running to the Enterprise Park on a morning.
Saturday
- 0840 starting from Newcastle no longer runs, and is replaced by an
- 0902 start from Boldon Cineworld.
- 0837 starting from Sunderland Interchange towards Newcastle is removed
- 0807 starting from Sunderland Interchange towards Newcastle is retimed to start at 0750.
Whilst I'm not arguing for or against the logic of removing any of these journeys/retiming them/etc, surely full details of the changes should be published? I really don't think "A small number of Monday to Friday journeys operating before 9am are slightly retimed" or "There are some changes to journeys early on a Saturday morning due to low passenger numbers" does the changes justice.
