The proposed M1 would run it's current route via Fencehouses to Houghton, but a new M4 service would run to Houghton via Herrington Burn and Newbottle. Although I've not done any timings, I'd look to time the two to interwork when terminating at Houghton.
On an evening and and alternate trips on a Sunday, an M4A service would run. This would run the current route between Heworth Metro and Cooks Hall, but instead of then turning onto Fallowfield Way, it would;
- Continue down Biddick Lane past the Arts Centre
- Left at the bottom of Biddick Lane
- Along Bonemill Lane/Fatfield Riverside
- Left at Fatfield Bridge and up Worm Hill bank
- Terminate at Fallowfield Way
