Gateshead as a Council have a fairly aggressive policy when it comes to road safety and schools. You can't even look in the direction of a school without them shooting at you
Portmeads Road isn't really suitable either for the increase in traffic, the X25 struggles with the parked cars
The Traffic Commissioners could stipulate specific routes in and around the depot, which could aid the Stobart case.
As for the Lion park - yeah, bring it back!
There are some cracking photos on the Memories of Washington group on facebook.
