Having used it quite a lot myself I found it more convenient than the equivalent SNE services . I appreciate GNE have probably dropped the wallsend leg "citing " non profitability, but it is probably lack of connectivity in N tyneside which shouldn't be a reason to curtail for those that used the service between Wallsend and St Peters basin . Once again from my perspective its GNE jumping at the first sign of funding running out, but plenty of money for new vehicles and constant livery changes!

Sorry I didn't make that clear I was talking about the other end of the route there the Blue House -> Great Park section of the route rather than the other side. It could easily be ran by Riverside the other side of the route, not sure how commercially viable it would be mind but agreed it should exist though mind.
