But even then though, it takes what is 10 mins from Eldon Square to Gateshead, you could be nearly at Team Valley by that time and once the A1 is complete it's going to be a dual carriageway all the way, or at least to the Redheugh Bridge anyway.

The better place imo would be is where the funfair is at Team Valley, then you could run non-stop buses through and additionally serve Team Valley so it has dual purpose and additional passenger flows skipping Gateshead - as no-one wants to go there.

For the other side Follingsby Park is better, not to mention it'll have a future rail connection but also for the same reason that you could have express buses which run non-stop and serve the business park aswell - maybe as an extension of the 4 and the Felling Bypass is a right slog at rush hour so would be more popular.

It's how the York P&R works, using the York Designer Village, Monks Cross and Askham Bar College instead.

No-one wants to go the Angel, so it'll happen what happens everywhere else, no-one is using it, we'll get arid of the express buses the 21 is good enough. Whoah hang on I'm not sitting on a bus that stops everywhere and takes 30 minutes. P&R closes. It's basically what happened at the Great Park with the X40 which now goes on a detour around Jesmond. That used to take 18 minutes, now it's 34 minutes!
