Never understood the point of these kind of routes - do they just exist to suck up subsidy money from the council at minimal cost? Would be very surprised if that journey carts round much more than fresh air.

I used to use the 91 between High Farm to Central until I started to drive a couple of years back and it was actually quite well used especially when you got to Walker / Byker.

Coming back home its not an issue for anyone to do as its just one change and plenty of ways home.

Usage may have changed with Covid but it definitely wasn't the fresh air carrier its made out to be
