The route is unchanged Throckley - Wallsend - Cobalt & Silverlink, so I guess it will either be the 309 route or more likely the 306/308 route. No idea where it will serve between Cobalt/Silverlink and Whitley Bay, but I assume Tynemouth will be served as Stagecoach apparently wants to compete with the Coaster 1 (I know competition is supposed to be over, but this is what I've heard).

Just sharing the information, and I agree entirely (as I said above) it's not a good idea for punctuality and reliability etc, but apparently Stagecoach want to compete with the Coaster 1 even if customers suffer because of it.
