A great example people get the 306 from Battlehill as it is quicker (by 4 mins) as oppose to going round High Farm loop
People in Battlehill or Wallsend will prefer the 340 than the 341 as it misses out Wiltshire Drive
Some people hate going round Hadrian Park it is all these 4minutes that make it feel quicker
Personally I would make 309 and 306 express along coast road instead of going up every ramp and down at Chilli Road and the next one down (forgot its name)
After all they have the 350 and 351 by then going up and down
It's not just psychological.
It obviously is quicker
But to get to bit about the slip roads on the Coast Road. Couldn't agree more.
The time savings will quickly add up.
