The new bus and metro interchange opened on Sunday and looks great. However, when reading the comments in the Shields Gazette Facebook page, there appear to be some issues which are:

• People complaining of "lack of toilet facilities" even though there are some?
• People walking in and around where the buses arrive, park, reverse and leave - and have apparently been walking behind buses as they are reversing which is an accident waiting to happen...
• People trying to enter the bus station from the stands - which the doors only open from the inside when a bus arrives at the stand.
