How long is the average trip in the other council areas versus the Sunderland Council area?
I can see where they are coming from. The punter travelling from Sunderland - Newcastle won't want to stand/rest their bum due to the duration of a trip to Tyneside.
Gateshead to Newcastle?
Outlying suburbs to Newcastle?
Same for North and South Tyneside.
I wondered elsewhere, if there could be two different types of stock and a redesign of the line system to accomodate those travelling longer distances.
Appreciate this may reduce fleet flexibility somewhat, but the end result, could be a Metro R&OW thread!
