Desperately trying to think of positives but cant.
The last mention of it on the forum, confirmed that the facility wouldn't have its own vehicles, but would rely on service buses such as the 21 calling in.
Hopefully that has changed.

The.location and distance from the town/city centre isn't too different to the sites in York and Doncaster.
The road infrastructure is totally different though.

Similarly, people using the A1 aren't all going to one destination or indeed heading in the same direction - Metrocentre, Team Valley, Great North Park, Newcastle City Centre, various areas across Gateshead - which would lead to a change in bus for many.
