The majority of joe public won’t nip pick over something written on the side of a bus, and most would say they’re from Newcastle anyway. I know people from Tynemouth, Blyth & Cramlington who say they’re from Newcastle, and Whickham’s postal address includes Newcastle upon Tyne despite being south of the river. So yeah, I really don’t think it’s an issue either.
