How long will it be before representatives from bus operators complain about not getting any of that funding?

I wish car parking could be paid for with a Pop card, so you tap in and out at a car park validator instead of/in addition to platform ones.

Bet a large chunk of that will be going on fixing N'land Park the top floors have been shut for over a year now since the local yobs smashed all the glass on the stairs.

Wouldn't park in it personally, it's not safe and a few lights and CCTV won't change that.

Don't see the point in that X900, it's not much quicker. They would've been much better off doing a:

Fellgate -> Simonside -> Chichester -> South Shields (similar route to X20)

or

Howdon -> Jarrow -> Chichester -> South Shields

services instead and offer people to get places without sitting on a bus for unnecessary time and utilise the Metro that already runs in the area, especially as no doubt it'll be jammed between Heworth and Jarrow via Pelaw.

I was having a think about our local metro routes and if in there current form and timetable are viable long term or could some improvements be made to have the region better connected across the entire network, so I have came up with the following suggestions:

It's too complicated that imo. This would be better imo:

St James - Pelaw, Every 10 Minutes
Monkseaton - South Shields, Every 10 Minutes
Regent Centre - Pelaw / Park Lane (Peaks), Every 20 Minutes
Airport - South Hylton, Every 20 Minutes

Means you'd have the following frequencies

Airport - Regent Centre, 3 TPH
Regent Centre - South Gosforth, 6 TPH
South Gosforth - Monkseaton, 12 TPH
Monkseaton - St James, 6 TPH
South Gosforth - Pelaw, 18 TPH
Pelaw - South Shields, 6 TPH
Pelaw - Park Lane, 3 TPH (Day) / 6 TPH (Peak)
Park Lane - South Hylton, 3 TPH

Northern Trains, Newcastle - Middlesbrough, 2 TPH

It means the core sections have a frequent service during the day and the not so busy areas (South Hylton / Airport) have the service they really need. Both ends of the route are dead most the time.

And to re-route the 900 is going to be a pain, 


U-Turn at Pelaw, down the A184 to Leam Lane, down the B1306, along Monkton Lane, down Campbell park road, left down A185, then the first right. to Hebburn

Probably be around 20 mins, compared to the usual 5-7
