Just one change, folks!
Hence maximum of two routes can be used
The limiting factor is going to be where the routes that take you directly to the Metrocentre run from, so there's likely to be quite a few places around South Shields and Sunderland that count as there's no route from them to one of the direct Metrocentre services. North Tyneside, however, will probably feed into the 11 somewhere, so probably fewer places up here.
