It's a smashing idea to have it operating as local service between the Teams, Dunston and Newcastle. One of the things I miss about services from yesteryear was when the timetable clearly stated 'Passengers are not carried locally between x and x'; or 'This service picks up passengers at points between x and x while observing all stops beyond that point' (or words to that effect). In the morning, if I have to travel by bus from Rowlands Gill and Newcastle, I am annoyed when the bus, usually running late, stops to pick up passengers along in Dunston and the Teams. The bus is usually quite full and passengers are crammed in like Sardines further adding to the lateness of a service. A local, peak-time service between Newcastle and the Metrocentre would alleviate this problem and allow buses coming from Stanley, Consett, Prudhoe and Hexham to make up lost time (and, also, keep me from going insane!).
