X38 - North Shields - Cobalt - Coast Road - Newcastle - Metrocentre Non Stop
Both would be Limited Stopping Services running Every 30 Minutes Combined working alongside the 309/310.
Coming into Newcastle there is a slight route problem, which I have thought about, and I have came up with two solutions.
1.) Coming into Newcastle from Blyth/North Shields Services will serve Haymarket Bus Station and from the MetroCentre they'll serve Eldon Square, or Alternatively they both Serve Eldon Square.
2.) Have run it via Pilgrim Street/Grainger Street and Central Station in Both Directions or Instead of via Central Station, Have them go down the Quayside/Centrelink in Both Directions
Don't need a link to the Metro Centre. The TEN does exactly that. Why not do this:
- Service X38 would operate all of the Arriva 308 route between Blyth and Billy Mill calling at all stops. Buses would then operate limited stop between there and St Mary's and Haymarket calling at Norham Road and Willington Square. Buses would operate every 30 minutes during the day with evening and Sunday journeys operating hourly.
