Gateshead Sunderland Road Bus Link
Gateshead Sunderland Road Bus Link
Just drove past the bus link mentioned in the thread title and it looks complete now. Traffic lights are now active for it, still coned off for buses. But hopefully sees use soon after taking how my years to build it.
For pics see link below (from 2nd post down):

Im sure the High Level Bridge and bus only stretch of John Dobson Street are referred to as Bus Gates too for example.

Cameras can make money.
I'd hazard a guess the shares in Gateshead Councils white paint suppliers will be divested in to shares in Gateshead Councils traffic camera suppliers.

Money from bus lane fines is pumped back into traffic infrastructure, enforcement etc as far as I’m aware, so win win.
It’s basically a stupidity tax to help fund other projects.

I think I'm getting a bit confused, or rather lost my barings - am i correct in thinking the green lines I've drawn on are the new bus gate (I've been wondering what they've been doing there)?
If so, what's the traffic lights for? Have they created new sliproads on the A167?

That's it. They've basically undone the work done in the 60s when that was the original Sunderland Road.

busses travel along gateshead high street turn left into the bus gate as the ?? blue bell pub go under the 167 flyover and cross the underneath and head towards where the old GNE garage was and the new lidi is and join Sunderland road. Can see your pic so sorry if this is just saying what you've posted!!

(06 Apr 2022, 4:16 pm)Andreos1 Yeah, that's it essentially. Opposite in reverse.It is only the 27 and X10 that use sunderland road, maybe stagecoach will have the X24 and X34 use sunderland road from heworth instead of the felling bypass
Not sure if it's limited to the 27, 51 and 52 or if they're gonna send the X10 that way too (potential for it getting stuck on Jackson St).
