Tynemouth to Whitley Bay Cycle Path and New 1 Way System
Tynemouth to Whitley Bay Cycle Path and New 1 Way System
So obviously a few people know about the diversion currently due to Tynemouth Sea Banks Road and Tynemouth Seafront being a 1 way system due to the new cycle path. What annoys me more is the fact Nexus or Go North East or Arriva have not put 1 single notice out whatsoever. The bus stops along the seafront (towards Whitley Bay) say they are closed and to use alternative stops. Same with the other side (towards Newcastle/Metrocentre). The 306 is mental as they use the village (of which they ain't serving) and Percy Park Road but they go down Percy Park Road to Whitley Bay but coming back its a lottery of where your 306 is gonna go. On the other hand the 1 is currently using the Broadway and completely not using Percy Park Road at all towards Metrocentre. This diversion is on until spring next year yet no one has posted about it

Further to my earlier post, I was in Tynemouth this morning, waiting for a 306 to take me into North Shields. At Queen Victoria's monument the yellow sign at what was the Newcastle-bound stop had been removed and put onto the stop opposite, but it was irrelevant there, as it only applied to the Newcastle stop. Another passenger was also waiting for the 306, so we both kept looking in both directions, to see if a bus turned up.
The 306 did turn up on time, having come along Percy Park Road, i.e. along the original route. This stop isn't shown on the map to which I referred above.
A complete shambles by both bus companies and Nexus!
