Not sure how long for but seems a bit of a shamblesChrist, they may as well cancel it completely and pay GNE a small royalty for each Stagecoach specific pass used on 10 and X45/X46. Its probably cheaper then ever running the 100 again!
(17 Jun 2022, 6:51 pm)Aaron21 wrote Don't understand why your all saying stagecoach should just withdraw it and scrap it all together. Since it came back its been very busy. Especially the times I've been on it. Its easier and a lot quicker to get to Metrocentre

(18 Jun 2022, 7:46 am)Chris 1 wrote Admittedly pre-covid; whenever we go to the metro centre as a family we’d always drive. The odd time we’d pop over to Newcastle from there and the 100 would always be first choice. Non stop and didn’t faff on getting into Eldon Square so always felt quicker than the GNE service, though in reality probably not much in it. Cash payers as well.Given that most buses from central Newcastle and Gateshead to MetroCentre are from Go North East, there seems little point Stagecoach bothering with route 100 anymore.
Purely personal preference, I’d rather get on an empty bus and be guaranteed 4 seats together than an already loaded, potentially busy, 10 or whatever.
That said, I was surprised to see the 100 make a comeback.

Stagecoach can continue to serve MetroCentre on their orbital Newcastle links though.

(18 Jun 2022, 10:19 pm)Dan wrote This has always surprised me too and I’ve often wondered where these people are coming from, what tickets they have, etc.

(18 Jun 2022, 11:01 pm)Chris 1 wrote I half agree. Post pandemic, as you say the 100 largely duplicates GNE. In a time of reduced driver resource and reduced passenger numbers it’s difficult to justify. If pre covid conditions ever return, I do think there’s a place for it though. I’d wager that stagecoach customers from the east end of Newcastle would rather travel by the 100 given the choice.Yes these passengers may well prefer to use Stagecoach to the Metro Centre, as they could use Stagecoach Dayriders or Megariders.

(24 Jun 2022, 7:08 pm)Dan wrote If I was a betting man, I’d say the latter!Don't know about Stagecoach but I don't see Arriva Northumbria making any deep cuts. Maybe removing some absolute 'Melon' routes like the X8 with other routes mopping it up in parts and actually creating some handy links.
