Service 11 - Replaced with service 317 which will follow the 11 route between Whitley Bay and Howdon with the addition of ferry landing. From Howdon it will service Ridley Ave, Coniston Road, Churchill Street, Simonside, Archer Street, Holy Cross and then on to Wallsend.
**Good move to also properly replace the old 40/41**
Service 53 - Saved the evening service with it additionally serving Cobalt business park.
**Will Cobalt Business Park be all day or just evenings?**
Go North East service 1 - We've intervened to ensure there is still an evening service on the route between Whitley Bay and Newcastle.
**Will evening journeys no longer serve Gateshead meaning tighter times and a PVR reduction?**
311 - Evening services replaced with 310, meaning residents also get evening services direct to North Shields and continue with the City Centre link.
**The above was already GNE's intention**
X8 - Evening services saved but with an earlier finishing time.
**X8 is a deadwood route IMO, Arriva should review rest of their network and replace in sections**
