Nexus and bus operators need to sit down and come up with something about the East of the A19 in North Tyneside as the service is absolutely diabolical and it's getting worse and worse. I can't remember the last time there was a service improvement in the area.The issue east of the A19 is that it's simply not very good bus operating territory.
Just to put it in context how bad it is.
Non subsidised services:
306, 307, 308
Subsidised services:
1, 51, 53, 54, 57/57A, 309
Contracted services:
10/11, 19, 317, 335, W1, W2
How long is it going to take to realise it's just not working and I'd be surprised if there's anywhere in the North East excluding rural areas as bad. The GNE network is embarrassingly bad now imo.
Apart from Meadowell/North Shields and Norham Road (which are well served by Bus or Metro) it's actually one of the wealthiest parts of the region.
The attachment is the social deprivation index for that area. The darker the blue, the wealthier the area.
