324 used to go to the Hypermarket. Think when it was first launched as Hyperlink it was the 323 and 324. IIRC it was 323 Wallsend to Benton Hypermarket, whilst it was 324 Hadrian Park - Howdon - Willington Quay - Wallsend - Benton Hypermarket. As I do recall from being a child catching the 324 with my Mam and Nana to Benton Hypermarket from where we lived in Willington Quay. Me and my brother used to sit on the heater unit in the luggage pen to keep the seats free for adults.
