I can't see the point of that unless they do a circular route around newcastle.

I can't see the point of that unless they do a circular route around newcastle which would involve going over the bridges.

(19 Jun 2015, 4:23 pm)S813 FVK wrote People are missing my point...

A 52 service (Q2) comes to Gateshead from Heworth (and indeed everywhere else on the current 52 route), it will have to change to service Q1 at Gateshead to continue to Newcastle. Likewise a bus does service Q2 from Newcastle but is scheduled to do a service 51 (Q1) from Gateshead around the current 51 route. It will need to change to service Q1 from Q2 at Gateshead. It is confusing and the only way to get around that problem is have the services do a circular route around Newcastle using the High Level and Tyne Bridges aswell as the Quayside.

The Q1 will travel from Heworth to Gateshead as per the current 51 and continue to Newcastle Central via Baltic - Quayside - Central as per the current Q1 route.
The Q2 will travel from Newcastle Central to Gateshead via Quayside - Baltic - Gateshead and continue to Heworth as per current 52 route

Beat me to it Citaro

 The service will be numbered Q1 towards Newcastle and Q2 from Newcastle towards Gateshead

(19 Jun 2015, 4:37 pm)S813 FVK wrote Now its not since Citaro resolved the issue. What the Go North East website was saying was that the service would be numbered service Q1 going into Newcastle and service Q2 going out which would mean the service would need to change numbers if it has done a Q2 around Gateshead and to Q1 if coming back from Newcastle. Re-read the quote and you'll see what i mean:

(19 Jun 2015, 4:42 pm)JP6004 wrote Website was correct. Q1 Gateshead - Newcastle, Q2 Newcastle to Gateshead lol

It would change to Q2 once it reached its terminus - Central Station

(19 Jun 2015, 5:04 pm)S813 FVK wrote The website makes things look like this (to me anyway):

Q1 Gateshead to Newcastle via Quayside
Q2 Newcastle to Gateshead via Quayside, Heworth etc
change Q1 Gateshead to Newcastle via Quayside
and the cycle keeps going.

Obviously following points made by yourself, Citaro and others, this whole issue has been made a lot clearer and i thank you for it.

It just says "Central Station" instead of "Q1 Central Station"
