The 22 going to Whitley Bay sounds like a mistake, perhaps Newcastle to Whitley Bay and then a separate route to and from Throckley.I'd hazard a guess that some of these services suddenly become financially viable and the daytime operator decides to keep them going forward.
However this whole Whitley Bay rumour and extension to Hillheads Estate. There's one over Westerhope. Could it be that Hillheads Estate the 22 is going to and not Whitley Bay? Especially when the 71 has been mentioned in these changes as only running between Westerhope and the town. Severing any connections beyond there.
