SNE is the worst operator in the North East. Everything should be operated by independent operators working in partnership.

There's Streetlites lingering around in N. Tyneside with Arriva aswell which are meant to be on the 52/53/54 but they're usually found on pretty much everything. The 308 100% won't be though as there isn't any at Blyth, that's pretty much guaranteed to be Gemini.

Also don't forget the 51 if you don't mind sitting on a battered Solo for 54 minutes, it's dead usually so you get a clean run.

Yeah, GNE is the cheapest because the £4 North Tyne day ticket covers everything. Shame I don't live on the Coastliner route for the £3.90 ticket. 685 is my best option to get home. 

I thought Streetlites were good on the Nexus 32A, but there aren't really because of the rattles. Are the Arriva Streetlites as bad?

308 is the best option for Whitley Bay, although I'd like to ride a Pulsar some time. 

Thank you.
