(30 Mar 2025, 10:29 am)pbjd wrote Services 3/4 are being amended to be end to end services instead of circulars.
The 3 will operate as now as far as Biddick Hall then operate via Whiteleas Shops, returning to South Shields via Whiteleas Way then as service 4 currently does.
The 4 will operate to/from Biddick Hall via Harton Nook, omitting Whiteleas Shops as now.
All other changes are just to timings as a result of the withdrawal of the 17 and splitting of 3/4, as 3/8 and 4/7 currently interwork with eachother as well as 17/18 from 1500 til end of service.
Yeah that's fair then. Had a feeling it would've been merged into them but not that way.
Makes sense though really since the 3/4 aren't really a loop anyway as you can't cross in South Shields and from an outsider it's a bit of a confusing mess the different routes around Biddick.
Bar the slightly longer journey times, there's not really any lost links.
