Looking at the Q3 map, its going to run pretty much the exact same route the old Stagecoach 34 route used to run years ago running from the Quayside (minus going to Central Station), all the way along Walker road and using Westbourne Avenue to get to the Fossway.
Stagecoach ditched the 34 route and extended the 18 from walker along that way instead if i remember correctly.
Its even running along Eastfield avenue when it comes out of Wallsend.
Very impressed with whats been done the Quaylink since Go North East took over commercially!
