Got there 5 minutes before the same 44 pulled in and one of my mates had met a lass on the bus. They went out and are still together now!I miss the 44
. Not the fastest from Whitley Bay but was quick from Rake Lane, New York and Norham Road.Would've worked if Arriva renumbered to X38, ditched Marden and had it Blyth - Billy Mill then limited stop to Newcastle.
