The 306/308 is definitely the best option. More frequent (7/8 mins), faster as it's direct along the coast road and reliable to an extent as there is often 2 22s together heading that way. 306 has WiFi but not sure about the 308 now the hybrids have gone. 22 depends on which bus turns up as some have WiFi, some don't. Not sure what you mean by onward connections though as the only other buses serving the Silverlink is the W3 and 19.

Thanks. I couldn't find the info anywhere.

All of the services are quite frequent, but the 306/308 are the most frequent and faster depending exactly where you need to be within Cobalt and Silverlink, and getting off at the church near Haymarket makes the 306/308 and 309/310 the best connections from St Mary's Place over to Silverlink with the 22 running from Market Street instead. Yes, the 22s are often close together for some unknown reason, and the route seems unusually long. I didn't know the 22 ever had WiFi, not many Stagecoach buses have WiFi. Connections to other places in Tyne & Wear, for example to Wallsend on the 22/42/42A, or back home to my largely Stagecoach area meaning it would only cost £4 to get the Stagecoach 22 and stick to all Stagecoach buses, or use all GNE services on Blue Zone Buzzfare at £5.10 getting to Cobalt/Silverlink and close to home on the Tynedale Express/Tynedale Links. 

Thanks for your help.
