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
But that's it, the works are between Coal House and the Bowes Incline.
Going via Kingsway, doesn't miss anything apart from a couple of cameras that aren't switched on yet.
Looking at the clip on twitter, you can see exactly where the majority of the cars are heading and its not a left hand turn up to the gold medal.
