8801 51 Benton Asda - Holystone - West Allotment - Shiremoor - Earsdon - Beaumont Park - Whitley Bay Monday - Sunday all day route extension
8802 51 Newcastle - Benton Asda - Holystone Daily daytime service
8802 51A Newcastle - Benton Asda - Holystone Daily daytime service
That's the details though pulled out.
If were going on bonker ideas surely it would be better for Arriva to just buy Percy Main with the 1 moving to Riverside or Stagecoach.
You've fixed the mess of the Coast Road overnight and Arriva have a depot on the Coast for the Coast Road services and 41/41A/51/52/53/54/57 which are all close by.
Which of course they did many yers ago.....Whitley Bay.
Clearly Arriva think they can operate their operations north of the Tyne with only 2 main depots with the outstation at Alnwick.
Just having a bit of a think and how many depots/outstations did Arriva/United use to have north of the Tyne - I am thinking Whitley Bay, Blyth, Ashington, Morpeth, Gallowgate, Hexham and Jesmond. Did they have a depot at Berwick or was that a bit of an outstation, think they had something around Wooler too?
