Surely thats rather confusing for blind and partially sighted people who may alight at St Nicholas Street thinking it was Gateshead Int as announced?

(09 Jan 2019, 9:18 pm)ne14ne1 wrote Personally I think it is worth mentioning through otherwise the bus informs blind/partially sighted people plus those unfamiliar with the area that the next stop is Gateshead Interchange - however the bus stops at the next stop and it isn't Gateshead Interchange at all.


As silly as Newcastle bound express services stopping at Gateshead Hills Street (the stop after the interchange) to let people off but the passengers at the stop aren't allowed to board, they have to wait for a none express service. If the bus is stopping there anyway to let people off, why can't passengers quickly hop on?
