I would also say the new layout of the road near the high level has made it quicker and easier for buses to get across the water to Newcastle... on the occasions I travelled anyway!Was that before or after the new layout in Gateshead though? Before they changed the layout there were occasionally some delays on Regent Terrace anyway, but as you say quite minimal. Since Askew Road has been closed to cars and Regent Terrace is pretty much the only way cars can now get to the Tyne Bridge from that direction, the traffic there has been much more problematic.
Definitely agree the new layout is definitely better for buses at the bottom of Prince Consort Road to get on the Tyne Bridge, though. Firstly they don't have to battle with squeezing round the Askew Road traffic that used to block their route on to Hills Street, and also they don't now have to wait ages giving way on Hills Street to get on to the bridge. I regularly used to see a queue of buses forming waiting to get out there.
