Intu Group who own Metro Centre in Gateshead and Eldon Square in Newcastle says they may be forced to close its sites if administrators are brought in. Intu says a company's been put on standby to takeover if a new financial deal can't be done by Friday

(23 Jun 2020, 7:45 pm)Andreos1 I was driving past the metrocentre earlier and was wondering what the impact would be on the bus network, if either of the shopping centres were to close.

(23 Jun 2020, 7:52 pm)streetdeckfan Done a bit of Googling, and it seems like Metrocentre Interchange is fully owned by Intu, so I'd imagine it would have to close, unless some agreement can be made.
Eldon Square Bus Station is jointly owned by Intu and Newcastle Council so I would imagine it could stay open.

(23 Jun 2020, 8:08 pm)Andreos1 Regardless of who owns or operates the metrocentre interchange, if there's no shops open, restaurants to eat in or a cinema showing films - people aren't going to be getting the bus there.
The likes of the 100 will be redundant.

(23 Jun 2020, 8:15 pm)streetdeckfan But a lot of people still use it as an interchange, I highly doubt Metrocentre is going to close permanently, so if it were to close temporarily it would add extra time on to a lot of journeys, having to travel to either Gateshead or Eldon Square (if that even stays open)

(23 Jun 2020, 9:55 pm)Andreos1 I'd hazard a guess that those people form a tiny proportion of the people passing through the metrocentre. Miniscule compared to the proportion of people tramping past Greggs and Pizza Hut.

I cannot see them closing Eldon Square or the Metrocentre either permanently or eve temporarily. The owners are heavily indebted and need all the rent receipts they can get to pay their creditors. Very unlikely they would leave a site like the Metrocentre empty when they still have to pay the running costs such as maintenance and ground rent.

(23 Jun 2020, 10:45 pm)streetdeckfan I personally used it all the time, it was much faster to get the 49 to the Metro to catch the X47, 10 etc. than it was going Eldon Square on the X30.
I used to see a lot of others just going from one stand to another as well

Intu has just gone into administration. Going to be interesting to see what happens!.
Looks like they're going to stay open under the administrators

Pret have also announced that they won't be reopening their monument or Metrocentre stores. I bought a lot in their Haymarket store, this morning. I'd be gutted if they folded, too.

(02 Jul 2020, 8:39 pm)streetdeckfan I always used to pop into Pret when I was in the Metro, you can't beat a 49p coffee!Yeah, their filter coffee is good. I bought a big bag of their ground coffee with my lunch order. The single origin one they do is a lovely light roast. A strong milky bucket of that has me ready to be vaguely sociable, in the morning.
