Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
One thing to bare in mind with this suggestion is concession bus pass holders can't use the Metro for free (have to buy a Metro Gold Card which is £12 a year if you live in Tyne & Wear or £24 if you live outside of T&W) and let's face it by the time you get off a bus walk to the Metro station wait for the Metro, on it and then get off then walk to Eldon it would take more time and effort than the bus currently does.
