(3 hours ago)V514DFT wrote Someone suggested (can't remember who) swapping the 354 and 356 around, and that got me thinking, what about reinstating the 352, and swap that with the 354, so the 354 would go via the Freeman, and the 352 would go via Gosforth, but then it would go via Jesmond, i mean argueably where are folk of Jesmond gonna wanna go, Cramlington, or North Shields, all the 35* services need sorting out tbh
I know it's not really possible, but imo the Gosforth service should avoid Newcastle; it's completely pointless heading there as people in South Gosforth have links on the Metro and everyone has a faster alternative bus.
Not sure where you could go but heading West somewhere would be better especially towards the Airport / Kingston Park, maybe merging with the 342 somehow.
Speaking of the 35x's the 350 needs sorting out aswell, the route is a complete waste of space between West Allotment and Whitley Bay, it's just carting around fresh air. Seen the peak one at 5.30pm or so near Earsdon with 1 person on and it's always the same. Beyond that it just duplicates the 57/57A. Maybe an option there to do something with that curtailed short at Holystone?
