I wouldn't have though SNE would have bid for the 317 as they don't really have a presence in N shields and that area.
Not sure if I'd rather have GNE or GCT!!! stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea
The whole area from North Shields to Wallsend is pretty much Stagecoach territory now (I know some are subsidised) with the 22 in Howdon being the principal route and the 10/11 from Jarrow to North Shields being close through Royal Quays.
The other half of the route is pretty much Arriva territory now other than the 309. GNE don't really have a presence in North Tyneside either nowadays.
