It give more room for people who walk along to the high street and as a person who used to live in that area on a school day it  is busy, so good on the council for creating more space so people can observe the 2 metre rule or even the 1 metre + rule.

The thing is some people wont though you can tell by some of the replies that people just don't care. Instead now we've got a path on a major transport route for 50 people a day.

Every single passenger travelling from SE Northumberland to Newcastle is now delayed by the incompetence of Newcastle City Council but we can't do anything to get arid of them whether that's the shambles of Haddricks Mill where Ireland could've built 100 miles of Motorway in the same time which isn't even done properly and just abruptly ends or now this mess in Gosforth.

Then Newcastle CC wonders why everyone drives when it takes an hour to get into Newcastle on a 10 mile bus journey at peaks.

I slate bus companies a lot but I do feel sorry for the crap and hassle that Gateshead Council and Newcastle City Council put them through with their projects which take way too long to do or are just completely pointless and make things worse and you tell that Arriva think the same by some of the press releases they've put out about the X7/X8.
