In partnership with Gateshead Council, Metrocentre, Newcastle City Council and Nexus, we will be providing a park and ride service from the Metrocentre Coach Park. Services 6, 10, 10A, 10B, 47, X45 and X66 will all serve the stop in the Coach Park until 10am. At all times, services will continue to serve the Metrocentre Interchange and provide a bus every few minutes between Metrocentre and Newcastle all day. When heading back from Newcastle, buses will only serve the Interchange, not the Coach Park.
Am I reading it correctly that the service will pick you up near where you park, but then coming back it will be a walk from the Interchange?? So literally just a service FROM the coach park and no return? Why would anyone do this? How is it any better than just parking in Blue multi and getting on and off an Interchange?
I believe that technically you can’t park in the main mall car parks all day or you risk a fine, hence the coach park which is where staff park.
It is an utterly pointless use of resource
