Thanks.

Not too sure on specific problems on the TEN, but the service's Next Stop Announcements are due to be launched again soon. They will be brought into the current format, with the TFT monitor showing a 'line plan' of the next stops, and voiced by Emma Hignett (like all of the new buses and re-launched Washington services).

Do you believe in extra terrestrial life visiting earth?

I was down by the Shields Ferry this afternoon on the North Shields side of the river, and noticed that there was a road that was fenced off and not being used, this road looking at Google Maps runs along to Prince Consort Way, is there any developments planned along this site/road which is closed off, and is there any chance opening the road up allowing Go North East Service 19 a direct route from Prince Consort Way to the Ferry Terminal, and then up to North Shields Town Centre, without having to go up Dock Road into North Shields and then down to the Ferry Terminal, then having to double back on itself, Imagine there would be quite a number of minutes chalked off the Timetable, and Reliability would be significantly improved across the route as a result.
