Also there's 9 buses an hour along Hillheads Road in Whitley yet Monkseaton 1/2 mile to the North doesn't have a bus service to Newcastle at all. Also there's no demand for another bus North of Whitley. They carry fresh air all day half the time and there's again 9 buses at the top end of Sluice already and the X7 will be quicker regardless.The metro is no good if you live in the middle of the loop. Only the 44 Was any good the X8/X9 were a pathetic waste. lets forget about Battle Hill and Cobalt there is already enough buses serving them and re introduce the old service 44 running non stop from Norham Road to Newcastle
The 44 then X8/X9 never remember which one it was done it for a bit aswell and was scrapped as there's no demand plus the GNE coach express for a bit X5'something I believe it was. The Metro will always be quicker on the Coast and more reliable aswell.
