I'd be tempted to just switch the Q3 onto the 355 and be done with it. You have to remember the 55 was every 20 minutes until very recently, it's not a bad bus route. Arriva just had no-where to operate it from sensibly without Jesmond and the route wasn't that good to warrant a depot.

You're probably right, i would still put the 57 into eldon square though. It means you have the options of the 28, 57 & X1 for Old Durham Road.
