This is the 1st time in my 58 years that there will be no northern/GNE buses going under black rd bridge,which will cut the link between Hebburn quay area to clock area.i can see why this is happening,as all mercs cannot go under that bridge, due to the air on etc on the roofs on various vehicles.i suppose this takes away any risk of bridge collisions, which have been a few in past involving double decker buses.
