Alternatively, if they have a Network One pass, it's possible to catch a bus the 47 to High Spen and transfer onto either the R3/R4 to Blaydon.
The FB bod is incorrect on this occasion.
Thought as much (whether before or after the changes).
I couldn't see why a change of buses couldn't happen prior to Newcastle, at the places like you mention.
