North Shields Regeneration Plan
North Shields Regeneration Plan
(29 Jul 2023, 12:29 pm)Storx Does it though? If there's nothing there, not sure what difference it would make. Personally I'd rather have a bus stopping at multiple points so I could get on at one end of the street do my business and get on at the other end of the street. Unless the bus is very late, I'm not planning to be in the interchange / bus stop more than 5 minutes.
Darlington is arguably one of the strongest places buses in the North East and the lack of a bus station doesn't seem a problem there.
I know in Blyth there was lots of complaining when they swapped the X7 and X9 around in South Beach as the pensioners couldn't get on the bus on the main street anymore to go to Amersham Drive so suggests I'm not in the minority.
The only place I'd care about a waiting area is on an interchange where I can't control the timings so may have to wait 15 minutes or whatever.
