i spoke to a Whitley Bay resident who has lived there all of her life and ive known her for about a year said its a 15 minute walk 10 years ago i walked the same distance from my own house down to my Grandma Bella (Not my cat) and Step-Granda and there house is near a pub

309 - 42 minutes approx. 
Metro - 24 minutes to Haymarket + 15 minutes walk approx = 39 minutes.

So not much different, and the bus saves you walking.

it will be easier for you to travel more or less will only take you about half hour on 17 but for me its the good old Metro i prefer the walk for the metro it exercises my knees might get 1 bus back to North Shields then 9 then 88 or 27 which ever one turns up first
