Don't see what the need was, reliability is fine but who on earth goes directly from newcastle to metrocentre using that route? The only system of gateshead to metrecentre as 96 was good. It's an unneeded service on the whole but let's see if it can mature within a couple of months given how poor the advertising was.
I don't think the service is designed for people to travel from Newcastle to the Metrocentre (unless you boarded before Newcastle and don't wish to change buses). It is mainly for local connections such as Newcastle/Gateshead to Lobley Hill and Lobley Hill to Metrocentre vice versa.
