(Yesterday, 2:46 pm)V514DFT wrote I know Meadow Well,Verne Road, and Norham Road would welcome a direct bus to the Hospital instead of having to p155 about changing buses, a link that was axed many moons ago

W7 was the last version of that wasn't it, if I remember right? Always thought that one ended in a weird af place. Not surprised that one struggled tbh, but the hospital links are piss poor from most areas really.

Must say, I do think the 75/76/85/86 is something that's missing really; used to always have alright loadings back in the day before they started pissing about with it, like everything else tbh and they were the routes to have the first low buses in the North East so it's not like they were little basketcase routes. 

Good old consolidation like mentioned above which didn't improve services for anyone really, especially Meadowell, as most people unless they have a bus fetish, are using the Metro to Newcastle not the bus around the world from there and they lost all the other useful links as they aren't going to Battle Hill for a day out.
