(31 May 2023, 6:50 pm)Storx The 54 (356/56) used to always be North Shields to Newcastle, the swap around was reletively recently with the 53 (343/344) being Whitley Bay to Cramlington / Morpeth.
It'll also be interesting to see if the 355 is the 55 or the old 355 with the 354 extending through to North Shields somehow as the number change is a bit pointless otherwise.
See: https://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/bygone/...er1981.pdf for 355.

But I imagine the reason for the 354 going to North Shields has nothing to do with nostalgia for long-lost bus routes of yore. I would imagine it is because the 54 duplicates the 309 between Cobalt and Whitley Bay.

(31 May 2023, 7:25 pm)Storx Interesting that never realised they used to be split and go right through. Just find it a bit bizarre them wanting to take on the 54 which has been a sinking ship for ages when they've pulled out their own routes in the area like the 317 which were always arguably stronger. Could get the 53 though which is quite a strong little route.
Sure we'll find out in time though.

Nexus like using the old school numbering system on their funded routes.
