Can't see any of those working (Sunderland not long dropped) and there's no way GNE would take on the 100, Stagecoach have a feeder network into that market from across Newcastle and GNE already have the 10 which is a daytime Metrocentre express from Newcastle.
I think people overestimate the need for links to Metrocentre, the vast majority of visitors are by car and being cynical here, why provide more direct services when they can make you buy a Buzzfare for your 2 buses
