I don't see how they can possibly see the 352 and 354 as viable services yet services like 17, 19 and 81 aren't viable services yet the last 3 are arguably busier and cover similar areas aswell.
Not to mention there were routes with changes every other week and that was pre all this mess, and I won't let him live down the absolute shambles of the X4 doing it.
It's just a matter of time before the 37 and 38 succeed and GNE come out with the well we tried, aren't we nice, nonsense.
I believe it's what they call maximising commercial development opportunities. If there is any motive, it is simply to increase the company's foothold in and beyond metropolitan North Tyneside. I can't imagine there is a conspiracy behind it. What alternatives do you see?
