Services in the public consultation
41/41A cut between Howdon & Hadrian Park (11 people wanted it kept) 51/W2 is the biggest one by far. The 51/W2 had a grand total of 228 responses to the consultation with most of them not wanting the cut. 51 will still be ran by Arriva between Newcastle & Whitley Bay however evening trips will operate between Newcastle & Holystone Park with a different operater W2 will continue to operate the same route & timetable & operater 84/84A will be withdrawn (7 people objection to the plan) 552/M6 will be withdrawn. 16 response came from the M6 & 1 person from the 552. Local council will talk with nexus to decide on an idea for the people living in Vale House as they call it a transport shopper K2 will be withdrawn W1 had 8 responses. 5 were opposed, 2 asked for a route change & 1 was happy with the changes. They can't make the asked change but the W1 will have a different operater Not in any order but here they are: 51 Haymarket - Whitley Bay: Evening trips to GNE. All other trips are still run by Arriva Stagecoach: 18, 32/32A, 35, 54 and 317. Gateshead Central Taxis have retained the 335, 342 and gained the 19 and X46 Phoenix has got the W1 This is all from other contributions to the thread |

Would've gave a 30 minute bus route throughout rather than the bizarre 30 minute plus hourly service duplicating each other between Briardene and Whitley Bay. As I said in the other thread they should scrap the W2 and use it to fund the 51 and 54 in the evening instead imo, should be the same driver hours give or take and actually offer something useful. Shiremoor has a piss poor service now and Backworth and North Whitley Bay have nothing in an evening. It's just wrong even if there's not much demand there. |
