In regard to links between the QE and Leam Lane Estate, we seem to be forgetting about the 67, 69 and, of course, the mythical TB10. Since Wardley is connected to Leam Lane by services 57, 67 and 69; one of these links could probably be severed. As the 57 and 67 connect Wardley with Newcastle and the Metrocentre, I propose that something could be done with the 69. So how about from Windy Nook, the 69 is re-routed via Fallowfield Way, Woodburn, Staneway, Wealcroft, Leam Lane, Cotemede, Millford, Meresyde and Fewster Square (then perhaps onto Felling Square to retain that link - although it's probably not required) to provide new links to/from all areas of Leam Lane Estate.
Another suggestion would be for the 69 to operate its current route to Fewster Square, then onto Washington via Wealcroft, Staneway, Wealcroft, Leam Lane. Then either up towards Lingley Lane, A195, Coach Lane Estate, Concord, Albany and the Galleries, or down to Springwell Village and via the old 638 route through Blackfell and Oxclose. But maybe the length of the route would be a bit too 638ish for some.
