35s to Woodhorn, 64s to High Pittington, 52s to Ashington/Newbiggin etc...
The only reason I could see ANE withdrawing the late 308 for is becuase they'll be able to close Blyth depot at 12:15am or 12:30am instead of 12:45am or 1am saving 1/2 an hours pay for the shunters and engineers with it being the only service that comes in late after 12:30am.
Can understand them withdrawing it on a Mon-Thur + Sun but it's absolutely disgusting that they're withdrawing the Friday and Saturday night journeys. I've been on 3x Friday night journeys (only 1x on a NUFC match night unless England playing Australia at the Stadium of S**te also counts) and all had at least 15-20 passengers on and on the night of the England match despite the bus not veing full, me and the old man had to go upstairs for a decent seat!
