Actually come to think about it when the 44 used to stop at St Marys place I once had the driver shout he'd be there for at least 5 minutes so the bus emptied.A route that could actually do with being brought back either as a commuter service or a half hourly spin off to the 308 & 309.
X38 - Whitley Bay Town Centre - same as 308 to Lynn Road - Regent Terrace - Verne Road - Norham Road Retail Park - Willington Square then non-stop to St Mary's Place.
Would give a faster service than the 308 in parts and also give Verne Road a faster service than the 307 to Newcastle as well as cater for the new builds on Norham Road.
Could even 'dock' services in the according oppostie flow direction to form the X39 runs.
