My mate who is an essential worker uses the 43 44 45 route to get to new castle for work. Hes just told me tonight that for safety only 11 passengers on single decker and 20 on DD. Driver left customers at gosford high street and regent centre due to bus being "full". 4 got off at broad way east. Also the buses as every 2 hours so that would be a canny wait for those wanting to get to Brunswick or hazlerigg
