Shortest north east routes.
(17 Oct 2023, 6:32 am)Andreos1 The old 23 between Malone Gardens and Vigo Bridge must be up there.
Think there was mention of the Chester to North Lodge service.
Chester to Hilda Park has to be shorter. Might be the route with the fewest stops too!

(17 Oct 2023, 7:05 am)User2613 I had said the 702 to North lodge and the 700 to Hilda park isn’t a bad shout either. If we are allowing former routes then the short lived 734 which was 4 minutes to pelaw estate and the 5 back might beat them both by a minute or two.

Think of all the routes I've listed, I think the G1 (Metrocentre Bus Station to Gala Bingo) was the shorted route, running a distance of approx 0.5 miles in each direction. Was later replaced along with the A1 and IKEA shuttles by the S1 Metrocentre Circular.
(17 Oct 2023, 5:44 pm)V514DFT I said the 68 in my post, also on the subject of the short 60, there was also the 55 that ran Heworth- Gateshead via Saltmeadows Industrial Estate, another one to add, the 68 that ran Heworth- Bill Quay
