(24 Dec 2014, 2:43 pm)Michael wrote Roadworks have finished at Nissan, so hopefully that means it won't be as bad for delays,  it would be good but i'm not sure, as we know Eldon Square, it can be busy, not sure if any of the stands are free for a service being every 12 minutes (26th January)?

(NEXUS cba to update their own bus station plans on their site so i'm not sure if any have changed) 

With the current stand layout in Eldon Square, I think the only stand that can accommodate a 12 minute service would be Stand J. Currently, it's occupied by the Waggonways, the 74, the Stagecoach X77/X78/X79, and other infrequent services like the 131 and the 808.

Personally though, I wouldn't extend the 56 to Eldon Square. The 56 complements the 57 along Old Durham Road. Also, as a regular passenger between Newcastle and Wrekenton, the current variation of stopping points in the City Centre is great.
