I am advised:
- In April 2015, the Government added 69 extra weekly services on routes 263,
267 and 268 to improve transport in the Edgeworth, West Wallsend and Cameron

- The Government reviews patronage figures on existing services and
monitors projected population and employment growth for new release areas to
assist in planning for bus services.
