(08 Dec 2015, 5:18 pm)BusLoverMum From the report I read, the accident on the Tyne bridge left most of Gateshead pretty much gridlocked.
Yes, that's right.
Some 27s this morning were running up to 50 minutes late, and likewise the 49. The 93/94 were both affected too - thankfully there are some dupes of the 94 on a morning to shift the Team Valley workers, otherwise a lot more people would have got to work late today.
It took me two hours and five minutes to get to Bensham from the Stadium of Light this morning - a journey which usually takes 45 minutes at most. Around 40 minutes of that was spent on the 5-10 minute journey from Gateshead to Bensham!
It took two others a similar amount of time to get to work, as Old Durham Road and the Felling Bypass were both gridlocked.
This evening's journey will take an hour and a half, so not as bad as it was yesterday. The extra time it is taking to get to and from work is really wearing me out, though. Just a week to go before I'm off for about three weeks though - much needed after this week...
