Also From the Regent Centre you maybe could extend it to Haymarket with the Q3 to add a further connection to the bus station which Wallsend, nor Jarrow have at this moment.
Extending it to Sunderland would add connnections from the A690 to Newcastle & Washington, Wallsend, Freemans, Amazon.
And X123 I don't really like that. But maybe X56. Or just a X65
In my head I think this route will be about an hour. Making a route longer and longer is not in the interests of passengers.
Not gonna lie stand at a bus stop and see how many people say don't get that one as it goes all over.
It needs direct express limited stopping and not forcing you to go via Newcastle and Gateshead to get around the region
I think that could be the problem forcing every journey to go via Newcastle but cars have an option to go via Tyne Tunnel
There is less than a handful of bus services go through the tunnel and you can only go to Royal Quays or North Shields
