Consultation now available to read and view. Nothing major to see but the odd one is the 356 will follow every other bus into Whitley Bay

How can passengers possibly comment on major changes to the 307/9 without them saying what the actual changes are

Beyond useless

"355/356
To provide move direct links into Whitley Bay, we are proposing to omit Marden in both directions on service 356, with the route changed to travel along Hillheads Road and Marden Road between Whitley Bay and the Foxhunters"

One assumes that GNE are proposing to omit Monkseaton (not Marden!) - Doesn't bode well when they don't even know where they currently serve.

Not one bit of that makes sense. How you make comparable trips on the 94...

They don't serve the same places, at all.

(insert link) is a new type of link for me (on the survey).

My interpretation was that the short morning 94's Gateshead-Team Valley would start at Newcastle replacing the 91.

Aye could be, who knows. Quite an extension in journey time that though.

I find it odd that they are sending another bus that way via Whitley Bay Ice Rink. They give a road a bus service and go nah just walk to the closest stop

Beginning of the end for the 352 i reckon, also why does Hillheads need another bus, they already have the 54,57A,308,309,317

To be fair the services along there are shocking nowadays. 

Only really the 308/309/317 and two of them go the same. 

Probably one of the corridors in the North East with the biggest reduction in the last 10 year. 

It's to save time though tbh to try and deal with delays.

My money will be the 307 & 309 interworking on Saturdays with a PVR of 15 and layover in North Shields / Blyth.

Also, my thinking for possible changes to the late journeys

- 2130 & 2230 309 terminate in Whitley Bay

- 2345 309 changed to 307 termimating on Norham Road

You’d have thought a drop in at Cobalt might be an idea as well if youre making changes to the 307/9

I can accept the 6.09 X39 going, it would be better if it was retimed to 5.30 to catch more shift ends vs 6pm
