For years the 178 served the streets, estates and houses that the taxpayer funded TB20 works its way through these days, before plodding on to Houghton
Congratulations on being the 32nd person to mention 'Fencehouses' on our GNE threads.
True dedication to the area - eezypeazy, you should be chuffed (another 17 posts on the Quality Contracts thread)!
On the subject of the Metrocentre and Hexham, I do think it would have been better to re-route one of them there. The TEN is unique because of that, and I imagine many will use the TEN to get there as opposed to the X84/X85 and a connection onto a Metrocentre service from there, similar to the above stories mentioned about services from the past.
