(18 Sep 2024, 5:56 pm)/lewisparker1509 wrote again, the point your making is irrelavant. as when GNE ran it, it WAS commercially, and then they backed out, causing nexus to fund it. which again, is what michael was SUGGESTING they do.

while you're probably right about nexus ditching the 355 altogether to save coin, your argument is still wrong regarding the alternatives to the 355. fair enough between benton and forest hall or all the way to the city centre, but the 355 is the only bus from the forest hall area directly into longbenton/south gosforth and up hadricks mill onto great north road. hence why the 38 now goes to forest hall via benton park road and four lane ends, so the 355 can create that link.

now, stop caring so much about other peoples opinion and touch grass pal

The whole point in a forum is to share opinions - I have right to reply to what people say.

GNE have never ran the 335/351/359 commercially - the 335 and 359 have has been a Nexus funded route for years and years. Go North East took it on a short term contract from September to March last year when Arriva withdrew the 351 and Nexus retendered the 335/359 as part of the 351 contract. 

In comparison, the 355 (or 55) has always been a commercial route and has no Nexus involvement. Nexus fund Stagecoach to run evening journeys on the 37 and 38.
