As for the 22, the journey from Hadrian Park starting anti-clockwise at the Bush would take 38 minutes to Market Street East / John Dobson Street / Pilgrim Street. The 57/58 before the 311 came about took around 30-35 mins. Plus although there'd be people losing out with Haymarket, those who want to be 'further in' will benefit.

Do you know Hadrian Lodge, I wouldn’t be taking those shortcuts in the dark. Unlit, gravel path, 500 metres uphill as you say to the entrance of the estate, what about those ones near The Range at the top of Station Rd, very unlikely to attract passengers. There would be nowhere for an extra stop between the existing ones as the road is in a curve. When the consultation went out about the development it was hailing the 51 as a bus to Newcastle plus the 42/42a (or whatever it was then) all with useful links. They would be left with 335/342.
Is this all to help with the so called 5 minute frequency on the Coast Road? Yesterday I followed a 310 and 311 together up Station Road and they’re supposed to be more than 5 minutes apart - picking passengers up maybe?
