So my mother lives in Forest Hall and we frequently chat about the new housing being built near Palmersville, they appear to be also widening the road from the traffic lights (that take you into Forest Gate), which leads me to ask, i wonder if the new widened road and new housing development will be linked at both ends, one end taking you to Great Lime Road, and the other to the new roundabout thats been built on the B1317 before/after the bridge over the A19, it also poses the question of if that if that is the case, if there will be the need for a new bus link

Have a search for Killingworth Moor. 

If it's the one I think it is, it's all part of that. Quite a bit planned for it, including for a new bridge connecting towards Northumberland Park - unsure whether it's been binned that though. 

No doubt.

Could be a bus from regent centre or four lane ends to this new housing estate ran with optare solo's or peugeot E7

Aye I haven't heard about the Metro station for awhile, same with Murton Gap - both gone a bit quiet lately.

Whoever mentioned routes, in an ideal would you'd probably just extend the 38 from Palmersville through to serve the bottom part and merge the X7/X63 into one bus route doing the other half. 

The X7 and X63 aren't both exactly gold star routes as it is in recent years and the Killingworth links would be appreciated; an express bus to Newcastle duplicating the train is borderline useless for a lot of people. This is assuming franchising is done first.

Something like:


Truthfully imagine it actually being popular around here tbh.
