X67 is already covered by the train and numerous existing GNE services. What needs to change at the MetroCentre is the removal of the park and ride ban in the parking terms and conditions.
X68 is covered by the Metro which is faster than driving, park and ride would be more attractive if Gateshead Council scrapped parking charges so nobody has to pay twice...which just makes it the same price as driving into town anyway.
It's bonkers that they're even trying more park and ride sites without getting the other ones functioning properly. Even a park and walk site located on the Gateshead side of the Tyne would be better than the current P&R offerings.
