The still to be activated 50mph roadwork cameras from Birtley down to Team Valley and vice versa are causing congestion already so folk are already taking alternative routes through Allerdene and Lamesley, it’s probably not any quicker but you get the sense of movement.
Team Valley is quite interesting, it’s evolved into this hybrid factory-office-local indie style place. Before Gateshead council literally handed them the keys to the town, the new Tesco was going to be down there at the north end where the funfair takes place
You could have a bus run Chester, Birtley, Lamesley, Valley, Bensham (or up onto Saltwell Road) Gateshead
They did have the Team Valley Clipper at one point
