Two completely pointless services imo.

Just merge the 350/351/W2 into one route running every 30 minutes doing the 351 route extended to Whitley Metro (the busiest one out the 3 whenever I see it at the Whitley side).

350 is a way quicker bus to Whitley Bay and skips out all the estates the 351 does

W2 absolutely no way of what your thinking and here's why

The W2 to me is a perfect little route that a lot of people use and take into Whitley Bay. Lets take an example here. Say you were to withdraw the W2 and replace it with a 30 mins 351. What happens if the 351 is cancelled. Or is heavily delayed due to something or the bus broke down

With the W2 being its own little service (yea it doesn't go far) but its that little lifeline for the people who need it. I can understand why neuxs wont consultate to withdraw it

Same thing could be said about the M71 which returned for a year and was possed to be withdrawn in March but has seen an up in passengers. The problem is nexus dont advertised these services. Say the M71 was ran by Stagecoach or GNE then people would use it more but cause its ran by GCT nobody knows about it
