But Stagecoach and any other operator don't seem interested.

DUring my brief foray into South Tyneside I used to get the metro to Central and get the train - far quicker and a much nicer experience than the rabid children on the X66

Can’t wait for the operators to blame the Tyne bridge for everything (we’ll ignore the 21 being 35 minutes late due to Gateshead councils incompetent traffic management or the SDC being useless)

Long live the Tyne Bridge works!I found the same today. Peak time service and no hassle whatsoever getting from Gateshead into Newcastle on an X1. All the bus lanes make a difference, and you could see cars backed up for ages.

I would say that’s possibly had a bigger impact than they’ll admit.
