I mentioned a while back that GNE should stop at gateshead an people could get off and use the metro ( as it was intended be de reg and the grief i got. Now people are suggesting the customers in Birtly Kibblesworth etc alight at team valley at 1030 on a dark wet windy evening and wait for a bus to take them to tow rather than sit on a bus that takes them direct??!!
I've always been of the opinion that there doesn't need to be a chain of buses following each other in and out of the town.
With a new, improved, fancy bus station (or rail network if storx gets his way), TVTE has an all signing/all dancing hub. It works for those working on the valley and works just as well at 10.30 at night too. Much better than a random stop on Durham Road (one of the options they encourage currently!)
