I know it's a big cost for the council by having a bus station at the South end of the city but having one around Pilgrim Street could make massive changes, you could even redirect some of the Stagecoach buses to serve the bus station and get straight out the city. There's no reason why the 1, 30, 31, 36, 62, 63 etc need to go anywhere near the centre where pedestrians are and could avoid it via the Central Motorway / Central Station.
Similar the emission savings that could be made having all the GNE Tyne Bridge services serving it would be massive. You'd pretty much have Market Street free of buses bar the Westgate Road services (and even those could go via John Dobson Street / Percy Street or the Central Station).
Stage coach wont pay fees to use bus stations if pass example are to be used
