so couple of things. .... would all stagecoach and GNE buses meet the requirement not to have to pay the daily charge? If some do and some wouldn't how would the councils know which buses were entering the zome? ( anpr camera? )? could GNE and stagecoach not just terminate at gateshead and either let passengers get the Metro or supply a shuttle bus that meets the emissions and run that to Newcastle over the tyne bridge?
