Literally impossible to improve reliability on these services let's be honest with all the major works i.e. Tyne Bridge Restoration, Gateshead Flyover Demolition, Traffic Diversions pretty much all via Redheugh Bridge causing severe gridlock at peak times with diversions via Centrelink cutting off services to Askew Road West. 

Central Station is a nightmare particularly if there has been disruption on the Rail Network resulting in pick ups and drops off exceeding capacity limits to the short stay car park. Then you have Ubers that think they can park up wherever they bloody like blocking access to bus stops need I continue to go on with this one. 

At this point probably the only thing I would do is rather than have them all interworking is I would have them all as standalone services which may increase PVR/Driver Required.

imo if you're increasing the PVR, it'd be better to pull the 10A extension and 10B out of the 10 cycle and partially restore 604, something like:


It means areas get a faster service to Newcastle but it pulls some of them away from the Metrocentre, Gateshead and Redheugh Bridge mess. It also tidies up the 24/36 timetables which are useful for no-one with the 10/10A every 30 minutes each and a new 11/11A every hour each. 

Unsure whether those roads can get a decker around on the 11/11A at back end of Ryton as it's mental there's zero reasonable bus service to those areas imo. Guessing it'll not be a huge issue as long as their going one way as 2 meeting would be an issue tbf.
