But for me, I will be sticking with Stagecoach who's network is one of the most stable around. And I'll happily pay more to avoid Streetlites as I currently do with Arriva's offering, I got on the 55 back from town for the first time in ages yesterday with a DayRover as a Pulsar was allocated instead of the regular Streetlites
. And that's before the better links and stops in Newcastle City Centre and beyond to the West End of the 37/38, existing 62/63 and 18, all of which are worth the extra 70p. Oh and 7-day operation early to late service
.
