On your point on being surprised on their 2 and 35 in particular, both are very busy services and I'd actually have been more surprised if they were receiving subsidies.

Yeah they should have, it was from August that. None of the BSIP stuff is on there though, so left it off to be balanced.

Even still though, thought there might've been a small one for the very late 35 journeys on a Sunday or the 2 beyond Morpeth - the place has ran away. Similar with the 1 beyond Ashington towards Cresswell and Widdrington Station aswell. The core of course, I wouldn't.

The 57A subsidy is interesting in North Tyneside aswell, seems like the complete bizarre Whitley Bay to North Shields is commercial on a Sunday day time aswell (same subsidy as Mon - Sat).

Mind to flip that I'm very surprised some of the GNE ones are there, in particular the 20, 24 and 60. Always seem like gold mine routes and the 20 isn't the Langley Park bit either.
