I used to have the 524 to Bolden Asda using anything from a MPD to a Olympian, 527 to Newcastle Pilgrim Street ( Then changed to the 57 and was cut back to Wardley a few years after that ) Using Optare Excels and Volvo B10BLEs later using the Scania L94UBs.
528 to South Shields and Monkton Lane, The home of the Cadets when new, And the 544 which went to Jarrow and Horsley Hill using the Ceatano Compass bodied Darts.
I now have only the 88/88A with them dreaded Versa's, My link to Bolden Asda is in the form of a non-recognisable TaxiBus with the last one from the Asda being at 16:33.
No direct bus to Heworth or Newcastle City Centre, And no bus to Horsley Hill which for me would come in extremely handy if it was still here today.
