I know they want to do it permantely. Newcastle CC and Gateshead Council really need to just sit down badly and decide which route is going to be the East-West route across Tyneside as right now they've butchered them all. I feel sorry for anyone who lived in Walker and wants to get to Team Valley for work for example as there's no realistic route now. Buses you'd have to change 2 times, driving you can't get across NCL or Gateshead.
