The logic to me is flawed and I apologise if I'm repeating others points.

The Bypass is already busy from when the A1(M) ends. The site is already in the mix. If you are heading to Newcastle, why bother beating congestion when its only another 6 miles to the City Centre? Newcastle is not like Durham, it has more than 1 route into the City.

Adding passenger numbers to a service like the 21 which already struggles to keep time and reliability and sending more buses along a choked Durham Road is not and never will be a good idea

Almost forgot about the upcoming works on the bypass, which is being carried out to aid congestion...

Follingsby Park is the only sensible option in my view. It lies just off the A194(M) and is close enough to the A19 for even more accessibility. If constructing a new Metro link is not an option, then perhaps a frequent heavy-rail service between Follingsby Park and Metrocentre (calling in at Heworth, Newcastle, Dunston and a new station at Gateshead Quays) might provide better value for money.

A cheaper alternative could be to utilise the bus lanes on the approach to Heworth.
