Puzzle 916. Follow-up to Puzzle 58

Jan van Delden sent the following puzzle:

In puzzle 58 we asked for a sequence of consecutive primes p, such that q=4p^2+1 is prime.

It seems a bit unfair that the last digit of these primes p must be in the set {3,7}.

The other digits in the set {1,9} want some attention as well. To honor their existence:

 

We ask for a sequence of primes p, such that q=6p^2+1 is prime.

 

The smallest solutions are:

 

k=1, p= 5 (Oops, that’s not in the set I promised..)
k=2, p= 3229,3251

k=3, p= 325349,325379,325411

 Q. Please extend this table.
