Aye no arguments, it's a bit of a mess. The Q3 is a bit of a mess of a route, the thing is just subsidised all over the place and it's just a weak duplication through Gosforth really.

I know you quoted about the Great Park wanting a faster bus but the Great Park isn't big enough to warrant a 3 BPH service for itself.

It's the sort of route that if the bus companies actually have this 'partnership' they should work together and kill a few other stones around, the X46 being part of it somehow for example. 

imo the Great Park should be covered by the X47 (Stagecoach), with something coming from the Gosforth direction to cover than link (35?/X46?) with the Q3 curtailed in Newcastle but under the current system that won't happen and GNE, GCT and SNE will happily take tax payers money on the 35/X46 and Q3.
