352- Cramlington- Freeman half hourly, then once an hour extends to Newcastle
353- Cramlington- Whitley Bay half hourly, then once an hour extends through to Morpeth
354-  North Shields- Newcastle, half hourly to the Cobalt, hourly to North Shields
55/355- Newcastle- Forest Hall (55)/North Shields (355) via Whitley Bay , Marden Estate and Preston North Road
But thats just me be stuck in the past

The one thing I don’t get is this obsession with North Shields why? Surely Whitley Bay is more popular. One of 353/354 should go to Whitley Bay it’s not needed for both to go to North Shields. Half hourly 353 to North Shields then 354/356 gives both towns 2 buses an hour. Have to disagree with 352 though as there is 37 now.
