Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(10 Oct 2022, 2:12 pm)Storx P&R only works if the city has a lack of parking, its difficult to get into the place or its tourists visiting the place.I would say the main problem with parking in Newcastle is the cost, but that's probably me being tight!
P&R will never work for Newcastle imo as it's just a chore. The people who would be using a P&R will be at the Metro Centre or elsewhere and save the hassle.

We always use the P&R if we actually have to go into Durham, and even during the week it seems to get good usage.I was using the Durham park and ride in the late afternoon and it was dead on both the out and return (last of the day) journeys. A later service might be of benefit.
You'll struggle to find parking in Durham for less than £2 for the day at all, plus you don't have the faff of driving through Durham (even though it's not that bad)
