From Sunday 31 October, we have realised that the changes we made to this service in July when we introduced the 35A have caused some confusion to passengers in the Woodhorn and Newbiggin areas. As a result, we will revert to the original route of only a 35 which will serve Newbiggin in both directions.
We are also pleased to announce that from Monday 1st November, this service will be reinstated to its normal frequency of up to every 20 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes. Regrettably, the current Saturday frequency will remain in place whilst we continue to manage our driver availability challenges. As a result a revised timetable will be introduced Monday to Saturdays.
The anti-clockwise loop (the 35A) was apparently introduced due to a request from NCC while the service was half hourly. Good to see the increase to every 20 minutes though, the service needs it.
