Thought it be a good idea to create a new thread as the topic has been briefly discussed in the GNE Latest Thread.

Gateshead Interchange Stand Changes: http://www.simplygo.com/news/gateshead-i...july-2015/

Personally think some Stands are overly over bused and could of been better allocated by Nexus, but when do they do anything the simple way, if it was me doing the allocating it would be something like this, might need a few adjustments mind, although saying that Gateshead Interchange could do with some more Stands..

Stand A: 1/1A/93/97
Stand B: 94/94A/X30/X31/X70/X71
Stand C: 49/49B/49C/64/64A/95/96
Stand D: Q1/Q2 (Newcastle Bound)
Stand E: 28/28A/29/TB29/X25

Q1 starts at Gateshead does a orbit round the surburbs of Gateshead, back into Gateshead Metro then across to Central Station.

Q2 starts at Central Station, operates via Quayside to Gateshead then does an orbit round the surburbs of Gateshead back into Gateshead Metro, but goes the opposite way around the Gateshead area compared to the Q1, so does not really change into a Q1.

The situation at Four Lane Ends is ludicrous, buses travelling out use stand E which when in a full size bus is very tricky to turn out of on the A188, I think buses should use the following stands:
A-1 and 32
B-18 (Forest Hall), 55 (Forest Hall), 68, 493 (both directions) 794
C- 52, K1, K2, 62, 63 and 554 (Quorum)
D-18 (Wallsend and Walker), 18A, Racecourse Special and Metro Replacements
E- 555 (special stand)
F- 62, 63, 335 and 353
G- 52, 55, morning 38s and 32A
EDIT: Current stand map:
