Apparently the consultation has been wholly negative around the planned 51 changes and it wouldn't surprise me if Nexus and Arriva are hammering out a last minute deal to continue as is.

Can you blame them. Let's cut the 51 from Whitley Bay and finish it in an area that has no bus service to Whitley Bay or the other section of the route or to walk ages for a metro. They clearly didn't give a slight care and just thought let's cut it at Holystone. Idea to extend it to Northumberland Park or even finish it at Shiremoor to at least give them a close metro link to the area the 51 servers. No wonder the 51 consultation has been negative.
