A load of buses approaching the High Level were stopped at the very last moment by police.
Left idling, they eventually sorted themselves out (including reversing in to the Bridge Hotel car park and made their way to the Tyne Bridge.
At least one bus (X1) omitted Gateshead and operated via the Gateshead fly-over to Old Durham Road.
Quite an unusual sight/experience!
There was someone on top of the bridge.

Further complicated, later, by the Tyne Bridge being briefly inaccessible.
