312: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/55.00480...2d!1m0!3e0 - Would use the Silverlink bus lane but can't map it (Every 30 Minutes)
It offers areas which currently have a very piss poor service especially around Malvern Road on the 309, keeps the 15 minute Newcastle to New York (unique section of the 309) which has potential to grow. Adds new links from Howden to Newcastle instead of damn right bizarre 41/41A routing - it least has a use and also gives the Meadowell area a quicker route to Newcastle with the 312 including Tyne Trading Ind. Estate which has a shockingly poor service again.
