Well i think the 5 is the worst bus service ive been on tbh now it goes to north shields  feel sorry for the drivers who have to do it and was strange seeing the 9 today saying murton and lukes lane i like the brand on the 9 to
What will happen when GNE try to regulate the 5 for late running.will they still run jarrow to northsheilds as priority, as they get paid off nexus for that link. I think comming of a 50 onto 5 onwards to jarrow then northshields is going to be an uphill battle in rush o hour .normally the 5 runs nis to jarrow and starts return from there.i don’t know how this will work now. I’ve known people wait 90 mins at jarrow for a5 to turn up. Fun and games to commence?

I was waiting for 5 on Sunday morning ar jarrow,and the  Black cats streetlites 9 to LUKES Lane was in the stand with doors open.the driver was out of his cab, asking if any of his passengers were going to LUKES lane, if they could help keep him right as he did not know the route.just wait til Monday mornings start, I bet there will be a few drivers relying on passengers directions on route.
