The 553 serves the Regent Centre, Running Regent Centre - Battle Hill/Wallsend Bus Station, |Funny thing about the 553 is the 06:33 off Regent Centre was a regular haunt of 2601, Which of course is allocated to the 6, And 2601 would be on the 6 later in the day, So I'm guessing this is a scheduled Rare Working that no one knows about.
Used to pass it every morning on Benfield Road while going to Work Experience.
2601 used to do the afternoon runs on the 553 on a Saturday (and guessing Monday-Friday too) when it went to Regent Centre at peak times only, but not sure if it still does afternoon runs now if the PVR stays the same.
