Service changes 47 , 643 and 91A
643:
To make a direct way , the 643 will follow Sunniside Road out of Sunniside onto Whaggs Lane before coming back onto Whickham Front Street VIA Rectory Lane , instead a replacement 643A will run the already existing route of the 643.

That 47 change would never happen. With No X46, the 47 has to fill in for different places such as Shotley Bridge, Bridgehill and Chopwell. What you're suggesting is that all those places lose out their local town connection to have their bus be half duplicated route to the X71 and for the Medomsley route suggestion, They already have 2 Bus services that are every 30 minutes. So if your going to have the 47 go down that way you would have to get rid of the X71.

Next point to put on the 47 is that that would make Consett only have 1 Metrocentre Bus. We had 4 at one point, now at 2. People would hate it alot if it was down to 1.

I'm looking at where your suggesting to run the 47 and I'm confused. You've duplicated the V5 Pont Road to Medomsley corridor and most of the X71 from Pont to Newcastle.

I know its a suggestion but that 47 change would be the worst thing to ever happen
