You know the reason the route died in the first place. Cause they shoved aged old cr@p on and people stopped using it. Now there like. Ooooo let's do it again. We have nowhere to put them

Ps, a 15-plate Solo is newer than a 63-plate E200. If GNE are allocating ‘aged old crap’, what does that suggest about the E200s currently used by Stagecoach?

(19 Mar 2024, 6:39 pm)Aaron21 wrote 352 carries dead due to the 37 running before it. 354 seems to carry decent loads but only I'd say as far as Backworth then just meets the 353 . 353 is used regularly as it doesn't cross with many routes that dual it. 353 is (even when the 53) it was the best route. Its simple and severe & connection many places and still does. Sadly a lot of people were not pleased when it was cut from Benton Asda as that was its most busy. 355 is doing well from what I've seen. Gives people in Longbenton to Forest Hall a link which should have existed ages ago
We know the 317 isn't going Rockets since the timetable list it as fleet livery. Be odd to have it say "This is the North Tyne Rockets 317 service to Wallsend)
Idk why gne should re allocate it solos. There's them short StreetLite at Deptford which could easily be swapped for the long Corp lites that went on the 351/335/359. But if its solos. Well it'll be interesting to see how it goes
