Ironic Advertisement on Free Metro - Scott - 14 Jan 2014
I got on the Go North East Ten this morning, picked up my free newspaper as normal, only to see a full page advertisement for rival Arriva's new Smartphone app. You would have thought someone would notice when the put the newspapers on the buses first thing this morning.
Also ironic is the fact that once upon a time, the Ten was more better known as Arriva's 602.

Perhaps one with orange packaging? A chocolate bar with two layers, just like the two floors of the 'double decker' buses allocated to the 56?

Not convinced how well this will work. At a first thought, lights on the Lobley Hill roundabout has disaster written all over it. It does however seem logical to have the bus lane from Second Avenue onwards, but it doesn't do much for the massive congestion southbound between the Eastern Avenue roundabout and the Tenth Avenue/retail park roundabout.

Are we talking about the Lobley Hill roundabout at the A1, as most of the slip roads there already have lights?
I have heard that the bus lane is going to go straight through the Maingate Roundabout as shown on the map on the link below.

I'm confusing matters. I was on about the roundabout shown on the PDF you've put up. Reason I think it'll end in disaster is the peak time tailbacks going right back on to the roundabout over the A1, and causing further congestion there. I don't think the car traffic will reduce as part of these plans, so the bottleneck has to appear somewhere.
