We will therefore introduce a revised route/timetable for service 35 with effect from Sunday 23 March 2025.  The service will continue to operate half-hourly Monday – Saturday daytime and hourly during evening and Sunday hours.  The revised route will operate between Newcastle Pilgrim Street  – Fawdon Red House direct via Great North Road and Gosforth High Street.  To improve reliability, trips towards Red House Farm will no longer serve Coxlodge (Welford Avenue), but customers will be able to use the adjacent stop on Kenton Road, or alternatively remain on the bus and alight on Welford Avenue during the return trip back towards Newcastle.

The new contract for service 35 has been awarded to Gateshead Central Taxis.  Stagecoach tickets/passes will no longer be sold/accepted on this route.  However, there will be a grace period for the first 4 weeks, to allow customers to transition to the new arrangements.

Probably a sensible outcome given GNE's about turn re Q3 but it's a shame Nexus wasted resource on the charade of a consultation for a done deal.  When more than 50% of respondents oppose your proposal and you crack on regardless, it suggests the resource that went into said consultation could have been better directed, or even just pissed directly down a drain.
