The 59 (50) will return in some form, there's always been a Backworth to Whitley Bay service.
307 - PVR unchanged (and 2-3 mins removed from journey time).*
354 - PVR unchanged - time re-utilised to serve NT Hospital rather than Cobalt.
*Note that serving Wiltshire Drive instead, would allow GNE to reduce the 307/309 evening PVR from 5x vehicles to 4x. Ex Newcastle to North Shields would be 39 minutes and ex North Shields to Newcastle would be 44 minutes.
