Not so good for GNE's 1 mind as it's a bit redundant for people in Howdon now with the 22/317. They played their cards well Stagecoach.
What was the fare btw curious, £2.90 doesn't seem too bad if it's a longer journey, £1.80 is a tad cheap.
That's true, the day ticket is good value to get to Newcastle/Metrocentre etc. The only benefit with the 1 now is the cheaper fares for direct journeys.
And it was from Howdon to North Shields, so not too far in my opinion.
