Wonder if the 353 will go standalone if the 352 gets axed, likewise will the 317/340/341/342 all interwork, but nice to see the return of old route numbers the 40(41/41A) (was the 340) 41 (was the 341), the 356 is an interesting one, is it going to go along Great Lime Road from Meadway/Feetham Avenue to get to Killingworth (was the evening 350/351 back in the day), but Forest Hall will be pleased to have its link to the Hospital and Whitley Bay, a link that was severed in 2016 when the 17 was withdrawn, 4 buses to Killingworth though, bit overkill especially with the 63 being every 15 minutes, be interesting to see how it copes with the 342/353/356 following it to Killingworth
