With the Q3 and the new service 11, do you think there'll be changes to the North Tyne Saver to allow travel on these services? Still feel a little cheated that you can't travel to Gateshead on the 1, but it lets you travel to Blyth on the 309.

Wonder what way it will operate? Via Walker Riverside?

Wonder if the 1 will be cut in some way then? Seems a lot if they are having 10 buses a hour Wallsend-Newcastle!

Hopefully! They need to cut the price of single tickets too as Stagecoach are about 50p cheaper!

(11 Jun 2016, 9:21 pm)Andreos1 I have been wondering about the 1.
Convinced there it will be cut at some point beyond North Shields (if not Shields) and definitely route changes between Wallsend and the town, if the 11 is going along Shields Road

(11 Jun 2016, 9:59 pm)big mac I was wondering whether the q3 and 11 operating between Wallsend and Newcastle has been introduced to compensate for a possible reduction in the 1 on that section of its route.

(11 Jun 2016, 10:06 pm)GMitchelhill I remember a time when GNE had more services than Stagecoach in Wallsend. Think it's about even at the moment, but I think GNE still has more services than Stagecoach, not by much.
Though I'm guessing you're half my age, I'm 31 now and lived in the Wallsend area all my life, so I've seen things come and go around here and in other areas too.

The 301 varied at lot. In the 80s it went to Kibblesworth, then when Metrocentre opened it went there (along with the 305). Then after a few years it only went on Saturdays (never dropped down to hourly). Then it stopped altogether, then it started going every day, then back to Saturdays before being stopped completely.
