Aye I get that but it's about 100m to Billy Mill Lane (53 / 308) or Malvern Road (317). I get that there used to be bus routes there but when councils are skint, not sure it's the best use of tax payer funds to be honest. Especially when one is subsidised and the other is dying (53) while other routes were planned to be lost altogether like the 51 through route or M6 at Jesmond Vale which are a hell of a lot more worthwhile serving areas with next to nothing.

Any subsidised services should be serving places where there's no bus services at all like Murton Village imo.
