(05 Aug 2014, 7:22 pm)BJ10VUS From South Shields and Chichester, it'll take longer than the Metro. You'll have to change somewhere along the route, probably Horsley Hill or Marsden, to board the X34 from a something like the E1/E2/E6 or 10/11. The X34 doesn't serve Chichester or South Shields.

(05 Aug 2014, 7:27 pm)AIG20 I live at Marsden, somewhere near to the Marsden Inn. Therefore, I can walk to the X34 bus stop, whereas I will have to get the E1/E2/E6, 7/8 or 11 bus to get the Chichester and/or South Shields Metro Station.
I guess that will make the X34 just as quick with a lot less hassle.

Notice this display is showing "Town Centre" instead of "Market". I think it would be a good idea to upgrade all of the vehicles' display's to this format, as they are much easier to read.

(07 Aug 2014, 5:10 am)mrnut85 Well from today they will go back to saying 'Market'I much prefer "Town Centre" too, and whilst I like the larger terminal point font, the via points are so small, it's almost pointless having them. I've seen a similar style rolled out on a number of Stagecoach buses in different regions too, and the via points are what spoils it every time for me, on what would otherwise be a nice destination display.

Our South Tyneside residents are more likely to know than me, but is the Market still operational in South Shields? I've gone through quite a few times in the past few months and it's never open... Just stalls sitting there empty, which doesn't half make the place look dire.
If it's no longer open, I can't quite work out why all of Stagecoach's destinations revolve around it.
