I don't think North Tyneside has had any major changes since about 2010, I think the 1 will stay the same (maybe the short Gateshead ones terminating in Newcastle if they are putting a bus to Metrocentre on?), and the 9, 19 and 309/310 should stay the same too.

And yeah a lot of people go to the Metrocentre so a direct bus will be much better. Probably be Sat/Sun and possibly school holidays too though that might cause confusion.

It does, although i'm not from the area, I'll take your word for it


As for the rumored Metrocentre service, not sure what its route could be.
