Then having a Morpeth to Killingworth via the Airport (777/342 merged to Killingworth only) and the 342 running from Wallsend to Cramlington to keep the 30 minute service from Killingworth to Cramlington working with the 353.

I'm not saying there'd be millions of people wanting it but Wallsend to Cramlington is a link which probably should exist like it did for years.


The 43 to Morpeth is operational purposes though. It's a complete waste having deckers running on there and no-one in their right mind is going to do it end-to-end. I'm not saying there's millions of people wanting it but there's more likely someone wanting to go from Killingworth to Morpeth rather than Gosforth to Morpeth via Cramlington.

It's basically just the old 343/344 anyway which ran successfully for years.

Agree with you. I'd rather have the 342 from Cramlington to Wallsend (half hourly from Killingworth to Wallsend) and scrap the waste of space 335 which doesn't work for workers anymore.

The 335 used to be quite popular until they messed around with the timetable so it no longer coincided with shift patterns at BT/Quorum.
