Another alternative in Lintz estate would be to route the Nexus R5 and loop back onto its route via Burnopfield Font Street and Rowlands Gill for connectiions to Metro Ctr & Newcastle.
Ah OK, so in terms of width for the buses passing each other, there is no difference now as then, in fact, I think the Omnidekka's are narrower as they dont have massive mirors.
