Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Service 57 currently has over 20 minutes sitting at Market Street, which is clearly inefficient.
Either operate it to a similar route as the Coaster 1 from Gateshead to Newcastle. This would provide a direct link to Central Station from Old Durham Road and East Gateshead.
Or on arrival in Newcastle, operate up John Dobson Street, St Mary's Place, Percy Street and Newgate Street, in a similar fashion to the old 'City Loop' that Go Ahead Gateshead used to have, offering alternative stop locations in the city for customers travelling to/from East Gateshead, while opening up easier connections to/from the north of the city.
Anything has to be better than having a driver earning zero money for that long!
