It's odd how it duplicates the 43/44/45 and the X46, but goes from Eldon Square, where presumably nobody is going to be for Gosforth when 4 services go from Haymarket. For Great Park it makes sense the X47/49 will be together.
We don't need more duplicate services through Gosforth/Regent Centre.
The Q3 will still run from Haymarket so the Quayside link still exists.
Surprised the electric buses haven't arrived for the 43/44/45/47 yet.
Yeah it's a bit silly to be honest, it's always be the odd route along there. The Q3 is now to be honest and people will let it go for the 43/44/45.
Actually curious on the bit in bold, has anyone actually heard anything on these or the GNE ones in the same batch.
