big mac wroteYes, especially the 93/94 running to Newcastle, which could be beneficial for a number of reasons:
a) All day links directly to Newcastle from Team Valley, instead of just peak time ones as it is at the moment with the 91.
b) Direct links to Gateshead College from Newcastle.
c) More frequent for a link to Newcastle on the bottom section of Chowdene Bank, which at present only has the 28A once hourly.
d) Replacing the direct link to Newcastle on Beacon Lough Road, which was lost when the 51/52 was curtailed at Gateshead.
I could go on, but the 93/94 to Newcastle is an excellent idea.
The 93/94 used to run to Newcastle under their previous guises as the 13/14. When the Metro was built, they were curtailed/rerouted to terminate at Gateshead Interchange.
On one hand, the link to Newcastle might prove to be handy and profitable. On the other, the link between TVTE and Gateshead is lost due to the way the 93/94 is likely to be routed (probably like the 53/54 is now).
