Only thing I'll say........no one will ditch their cars unless an 'X' variant of the 308 similar to the old 44 is introduced!

Be an absolutely ridiculous idea so no doubt will happen. Might get some new record delays on the X7/X8 though while everyone attempts to rat run through South Gosforth. They're already regularly at 30 mins+ as it is.

I'm sure the 62/63 users will appreciate it aswell while they're sitting in queues along Chillingham Road and all the rest of the Byker / Walker services are ground to a halt over Byker Bridge.

Just clueless planning by clueless councillors but anything for their little trophy routes along the Coast Road in recent years.

Nexus / NECA / Transport North East / whatever name it is this week really need some adults with a transport background in the room. People take the piss out of the likes of Roger French but he'd do a much better job than the rubbish like Tobyn we've got up here who seems to be rewarded of failure by promotions.
