Buses would operate ANE's 308 route between Whitley Bay and Billy Mill . Between Billy Mill and St Mary's / Haymarket, buses would operate on a strictly limited stop basis only calling at Formica and Willington Square. Buses would operate half hourly Monday to Saturday daytime. The journey times would be as follows from Haymarket:
- Willington Square = 15 minutes / 17 during peak
- Formica = 18 minutes / 20 minutes during peak
- Billy Mill = 20 minutes / 22 minutes during peak
- Jacksons Farm = 23 minutes / 26 during peak
- North Tyne General = 25 minutes / 29 during peak
- Foxhunters = 27 minutes / 32 during peak
- Ice Rink = 29 minutes / 35 minutes during peak
- Whitley Bay Town Centre = 33 minutes / 40 minutes during peak
Operated by E400s?
