(Yesterday, 12:23 am)Arriva7446 wrote Killingworth - Cramlington was better under Arriva as it was a 15 minute service, but now it might as well be every 30 mins as the 353 is timed very close to the 37 (at times I use anyway).

IMO....the 353 is the stronger of the 353/354.

It would've been better operated by Arriva, incoroprating the 43 extension between Cramlington & Morpeth too - and maybe via High Pit (for NESCH) rather than Southfield Green blindly following the 37.
