Could amalgamate an extended 55 into the W2. 51 route from Palmersville to Earsdon then W2 route to Whitley Bay

310 via Wiltshire Drive won't work for the same reason - passengers from Battle Hill will have a longer journey.

Journey time would not be much longer than the 311, also taking into account that the 22 stops smack bang in Newcastle City Centre like what the 57/58 did as opposed to Haymarket.

310 via Wiltshire Drive would work if the 309 was re-routed via High Farm (subject to rumored Coast Road clean up happening). Other option would be 310 via Hadrian Park but would still be no replacement for 51 and even with a replacement, would still leave an 'oddball' service on the Coast Road.
