Was thinking this just there. Yes would create ironically a 'de-tour' although a more sensible one with multiple ways in / out. Running time same if not slightly less than via Hadrian Park.

- SNE 22 - Split every 20 mins each after Churchill Street to Cobalt & Silverlink or Hadrian Park.

- ANE 306 - Omits Battle Hill Drive and stays on Coast Road like 308. Terminates in Whitley Bay Town Centre rather than seafront. PVR reduction (saves Arriva money).

- GNE 307 - Via Wiltshire Drive and doesn't serve Hadrian Park.

- GNE 309 - re-routed via High Farm & Station Road.

- ANE 51 - Omits Wiltshire Drive. PVR reduction as a result with time saved and can go standalone if needed (saving both Arriva & Nexus money). No evening service required with 307 covering Wiltshire Drive and demand between Station Road North & Holystone likely low enough during the evenings to not justify an evening service. Again saving Nexus money.
