(24 Mar 2024, 5:27 pm)Storx wrote Legacy route, the 57A used to be Cramlington to North Shields but I'm clueless why it still exists nowadays if I had to be honest. The subsidy has just never changed from when it was cancelled nearly 10 year ago now, why - god knows, incompetence more than likely.Wasnt it both the 57 and 57A to North Shields at one point, one went via the college and the other the way the 353 goes now and interworked with the 56 cus via Billy Mill Avenue had the 53A, 56 and 57 at one point before 53A was axed and became the 53, the 56 was axed then it was the 57 on evenings and Sundays like it is now, no idea why they swapped the 57 for the 57A, something could probably be done to cover the 57A involving the 306/307/317
It's the same as that circular route, who's number has bolted from my head in Sunderland which still existed until reletively recently.
