With your suggestion, the level of service would be reduced to just four buses per hour.
I think there'd be cause for some complaint.
Looking back over the above I think I have been quite clever in taking 10 Buses Per Hour and reducing them down to just 6, and on top of Reducing the amount of Buses Per Hour at Winlaton/Blaydon by only 1, I made a slight mistake in my Previous Post as the 49/49A would be Hourly and 49B would be Every 15 Minutes, Therefore maintaining the 6 Buses Per Hour already provided by the Blaydon Racers Network.
On top of that you have the Improved Links that I have Provided, such as the Extension of the 64/64A(49B) from Teams via MetroCentre and Blaydon to Winlaton, Then you have New Direct Links with the 49A from Springwell Village/Leam Lane Estate and Wrekenton to Blaydon/Winlaton.
Furthermore I have reduced the combined PVR from 16 to 12, Therefore freeing up 4 Vehicles to be Cascaded elsewhere within the Fleet to then aid the Withdrawal of Older Vehicles within the Fleet, and I have also saved Go North East money on Fuel for 4 Vehicles per Day, thus making this Service Suggestion a "Green" one at that.
