From January next year, there will be double the number of bus services operating out of Wallsend.
Keolis Downer has announced a more frequent route will operate between Wallsend and the city with better connections to Broadmeadow Station and Merewether Beach.
"We've certainly sought to maintain the geographic coverage and we have a number of frequent services with an extension attached to them so, for example, the frequent service that goes to Wallsend every 15 minutes throughout the day, every second service will go on to Maryland," said Keolis Downer CEO Campbell Mason.
In addition, the frequent service that goes to Charlestown every 15 minutes, every second one will go down to Belmont.
The core route will operate until midnight on weeknights and night owl services will run every hour on Friday and Saturday nights until 3am.
The new timetables come into effect on January 14, 2018.
