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.

Best option would be for an hourly extension of the 55 to Whitley Bay via Holystone to Earsdon then the W2 route.

The hourly 55 and 54 could then perhaps interwork with each other.......or the 54/55 interwork with the 57/57A.

As for Newcastle - Wiltshire Drive, that could easily be sorted if Nexus/GNE/Arriva/Stagecoach work together to produce a stable set of changes.
