Baring in mind that Nexus would have already screwed me over with the absence of the Metro. People in either Newcastle or Sunderland wanting to go to each other can use the Metro. There's no need for them to get a bus that takes twice as long.
Well as someone who lived in Seaham for many years, I was annoyed to lose my hourly link to Washington & Newcastle! Not to mentioned cuts to local services also and reduced a Durham bus service. But unfortunately, bus services aren't run to provide passenger with high frequencies.
