It's been spoken about before, but do we really need a multi-coloured convoy of all those buses following each other in and out of the town?

Honestly can't disagree. Personally I'd love to see the likes of the 27 and 57 terminating at Gateshead. There's a perfect Metro station at Heworth where people could change over and get the buses away from the town centre.

I know will moan about a change but it's a culture we need to change and use those buses to run a more frequent service where the people actually live. 

There's no reason why people heading towards Newcastle are travelling through Heworth, it's just bad transport planning other than the X10 and it's a far enough distance out that it would be quicker at peak times if done properly aswell.

After that, other than the 25/28/29, which are more difficult to sort, everything else probably has a reason to cross over.
