Way back either same or 648/649 to gateshead metro, complain to driver that is not going to Newcastle , metro to haymanrket bus back to rigg.

Also me and the fun police are no more so ive moved to a penthouse on the 27 route..... when that runs i would obviously allow that to drop off in town, but extend it to eldon square so i cancatch bus to the rigg or go for drinks in crows, bulls, swans,hotspur or junction!

I mean, whilst my comments were very much tongue-in-cheek, I absolutely hated walking along Clayton Street with my parents into town as a child before the 631, 632 and 633 (not forgetting the 642 too) were extended to Newgate Street when I was around 6 or 7 years old. It's such a piddly little distance now, and probably was to my parents back then, but it might as well have been a 10-mile trek for my little legs at the time.
