Not sure how tickets could work though, connecting GNE buses at Gateshead to continue to Newcastle could work, the Metro less so. Perhaps GNE tickets could be accepted just between Gateshead and Newcastle City Centre?
There are too many GNE buses serving Newcastle.
Less buses in Newcastle in general would be a good thing.
Anyone say otherwise? I said curtail the 26/27 at Gateshead, never said they stop at Eldon Square. Terminating services 25 and 28/28A/28B would create some room at Eldon Square for other services. I personally wouldn't put the 26/27 at Eldon Square, Market Street is good enough for the 1, 26/27, 56, 57, 58 etc.
To do all of those things, you need an integrated transport network.
We did have that once upon a time...
