There's probably enough demand along there tbf, remember there's the 22 aswell so there's pretty much 4 buses an hour plus the 12/39/40/62/63 doing bits of it aswell.

I wonder if the 306 might be partially to stop at Sandyford / Cradlewell to get students home in the Jesmond area since there's absolutely nothing serving the place bar 1 bus an hour on the Q3 even known it's a bit of a walk. West Jesmond is one of the busiest Metro stops aswell.

Guessing there might be a few fans from Shields aswell cos Sam Fender is a North Shields lad you know. He doesn't half like banging on about it.
