(29 Jan 2025, 10:42 pm)Thomas12 wrote 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.
Yeah agreed, it's a corridor which is a mess and getting to Wallsend isn't great. Quorum definitely needs more links but imo it should be more of a works service, who realistically wants to go there outside of it? There's nothing there really. Whether that does the 335 route or another route then someone else can decide tbh.

Noticed someone mentioned a 350/351 before, wonder if this might be the way Arriva ran the 51/51A with a short bus running from Newcastle to Holystone omitting Wailtshire Park and a long bus from Newcastle to Whitley Bay omitting Holystone Park. It takes 61 minutes end to end so something has to change without the 359 as the timetable just doesn't work.
