Then again, it would have probably gone by now anyway!

Tbh it worked better when it was the 307 as when GNE had it, it interworked with the short 17s, so Wiltshire drive had the 17 the 51 and 307, its a shame they couldnt of worked together instead of competing against each other running the 51 and 307 on a combined frequency between Newcastle-Holystone, but to offer a better connection, the 307 could of ran Newcastle-Northumberland Park, that way the 51 could of still went off to do its own thing to Whitley Bay
