In all fairness, once the bus had passed the mini-roundabout after the Shell garage at the top of Askew Road heading towards Metrocentre, it was pretty much plain sailing.
Heading towards Metrocentre, Askew Road is perhaps the quickest route to take in terms of time and distance. Towards Gateshead, it's probably more or less the same - perhaps slightly quicker using Centrelink. Off-peak, I'd normally not complain, but at peak-times Askew Road can become quite congested.
However, I do agree Centrelink should be used unless there's a diversion in place. As you have both pointed out, that's why it was built in the first place.

Between the Teams and Baja Car Park (as it used to known among 'boy racers') is two way but, as far as I'm aware, the bit between where it forks off up towards Ocre Yards (just before the High Level) is one way only.

Buses couldn't use the Centrelink towards the Metrocentre for quite some time, but it was re-opened earlier this year following work by the council and I believe all drivers were informed so that they could use the correct route. It is a minute or two faster to use Askew Road towards the Metrocentre owing to Gateshead Council's use of traffic lights whenever they possibly can, and I think this is why many drivers still opt to use this route...

(14 Sep 2015, 7:17 pm)Dan The red lines show where traffic lights are placed.
Turning left onto Askew Road, drivers can often clear the first two without having to stop. Turning right, you can often clear the first but get stuck at the remaining three. It's also more common to get stuck coming out of the Centrelink, too, whereas you can often clear the left turn onto Team Street.

(14 Sep 2015, 9:57 pm)aureolin If you pop the SIM cover on the right, there's a little red 'pen press' button that'll reset it. Whatever you do, don't put too much pressure on it, and don't use something that will snap...
(14 Sep 2015, 9:58 pm)mb134 Think you've a Sony iirc,
If so there should be a small red reset button under the sim flap?

(15 Sep 2015, 12:45 pm)MurdnunoC No, but I can probably guess. Get over it man!
(15 Sep 2015, 1:18 pm)GX03 SVC I agree with this. First come, first serve. Plus I never knew there was a place called 'Alpha Re'...
