Be better to run later buses on the Q3 and 93/94 imo. People going to Newcastle are likely to walk straight across the Millenium Bridge from where the arena is and past the Q3 stop rather and people walking towards Gateshead are likely to pass the 93/94 stops. At least they serve more places.

This is controversial but I hope the Q1/Q2 doesn't serve down there anymore because South Shore Road is fully pedestrianised bar access to the Navy place. It'd be much better to have a massive open square outside the arena for meeting people etc rather than a road for 4 buses an hour which cart around fresh air most of the time. There's places for roads, directly outside of arenas isn't one (ram raiding).
