My experience of people living on Great Park is a lot are looking to get to Regent Centre or Gosforth High Street for work or leisure (especially the High Street on an evening). There is also a surprising number who do go to and from Ouseburn/Quayside area, especially in evenings.
These new services might be more suitable for Stagecoach and their delivery, but for the users I can understand why going via Kingston Park instead of Gosforth is probably an issue.
I'd often get the bus back from the Ouseburn on an evening to the city Centre of Regent Centre to connect with my bus. I'll be blaming Stagecoach and GNE if I have a heart attack climbing Dene Street ?
But you still can - the q3 that going to continue to run to haymarket - then change there for your bus to ????
I loved going to the quay side but would expect the 44 ( the bus i used to use) to go down there or the 27 (which i use now) to detour down there instead of over the tyne bridge.
