Despite there already being numerous services to the MetroCentre from Eldon Square.
Forgetting about the duplication between Newcastle and the Metrocentre or where it should go around Newcastle - is there demand for it to stop (to pick up passengers) at Haymarket or space for it to call at Eldon Square?
If it stops at Haymarket - it is missing out on an established passenger base waiting in Eldon Square for a 'Metrocentre bus'.
If it goes to Eldon Square, which stand would it use? (bearing in mind the frequency of the existing services that stop there and my comments about passengers waiting for a 'Metrocentre bus').
I'm not having a go or dismissing any of the ideas, just throwing a couple of points to think about.
