I've only been a resident there for 12 months and the sat nav always takes me the same way in and out.  Looking at the GNR it looks like the forgotten people of pelaw would have to head to jarrow, go through the tunnel and come back on themselves to get to newcastle??? Or is there a way through the industrial estate alongside the south side of the tyne and across the swing bridge?>

I'm really struggling to see the issue. If there's people stubborn enough not to want to have a guided bus change at Heworth, then they're probably beyond help, if I was being blunt. 

Alternatively, they can use the Metro from Jarrow or the Pedestrian Tunnel and then bus.

If they've got a car, they've got numerous different routes they could take. A19 to Hylton Interchange, A1231 followed by A1, is likely to be unaffected on the most part.
