I also think any secured services should go via a interchange or hub
Looking at Wallsend
Yes the high Street the bus stops all around but often the buses don't go to the bus station which connects to the Metro - we assume most people can walk or feel safe walking distances
Creating an easy connection hub is what is needed
I may be cynical but personally I think the new 317 service should go via Jarrow Bus Station
Crazy thought but from North Shields head through the tunnel to Jarrow Bus Station then to Wallsend Bus Station
And Vice Verser
The connection from Jarrow to Wallsend would be the key and if it is Nexus Secured there is no commercial liability

Opens up links for people working at Amazon who need to cross the tyne, so they don't pay the fee.

(05 Mar 2022, 11:56 pm)DaveFromUpNorth wrote Making percy main as a hub for connections actually weakens connectivity
Making Wallsend Bus Station as a hub to connectivity creates physiological connections
If as a tax payer I'm paying £40 an hour for a seured service to connect to a hub and a secured service is not connecting to a "integrated service hub" questions need to be asked
Atm to go from Jarrow Bus Station to Anywhere close to a work environment North of the Tyne like Silverlink or Cobalt its a 90+ min journey with a forced connection at Haymarket
When the metro Is off or the ferry is off we have created a link let's face it
Ferry is dependent on wind and water to disrupt it
Metro you just need leaves
Creating a hub barrier and link could increase passenger numbers too
Percy main residence would welcome increased Bus links?

(06 Mar 2022, 9:31 pm)DaveFromUpNorth wrote But putting Wallsend Bus Station where most buses serve compared to Percy Main Metro creates the link
You could live in say Walker and get the bus to Wallsend Bus Station to change for one bus to Jarrow or Amazon at Follingsby
I did suggest a few months ago Follingsby Amazon to Jarrow to Wallsend Freeman and Regent Centre
However when Amazon has compiled the survey they can see what the results say
