Because the service was wholly dependent on Wiltshire Drive! Would be a totally different case with the current 307.

Removing 307 from Hadrian Park would mean Hadrian Park to Newcastle passengers being dragged through Wallsend and Byker on the 22, a much longer journey.

5 minutes more than the 57/58? Not forgetting the better bus priority measures such as Byker Bridge and the links in the City Centre too.
