In the meantime you need to encourage as many people as possible to use the public transport system that currently exists in terms of infrastructure. That is basically buses right now. And that is why curtailing services at Gatehead is a no go.

Yeah no arguments at all, personally I agree 100% terminating anything at Gateshead is a ridiculous idea. Would be a complete nuisance. It's where the Birtley comments came from ie. if you want to terminate things at a hub, it needs to miles out, not basically at the end destination.
