Quite frankly, I couldn't give a toss if users of this forum have a negative opinion on any subject. What does get irritating is pointless moaning about the same subject, time and time again, with no substance to the argument and/or debate. If the North Tyneside network is 'a mess', shouldn't the discussion be around what's wrong with the network, and what could be done to improve it, as opposed to an outlandish statement?

tbf I wouldn't have a clue what happens on social media. I never check it tbh was just looking at the time to see if the changes to the 19 had been posted for the northern section and seen the posts.

Agreed though that discussion is needed when you make points about things otherwise there's no point of it. I do know which posts your talking about tbf.

Just a shame there isn't a road connecting the top end of Hadrian Park to Holystone.

Yeah agreed with Hadrian Park, mind it would be probably better to build a new road underneath the A19 (ignoring expense) towards Cobalt for buses only, so they can miss the traffic going in / out of it at rush hour.

Mind having the Metro looping around the outside doesn't help neither as buses just can't compete against it. There's quite a few places though which are really underserved though which you could blame on anyone really but Nexus really need to sit down and redo their subsidised routes as most of them are pointless and carry fresh air. Car usage in certain areas must be near 100% especially in the Red House Farm / Whitley Lodge area as their bus service is something you'd expect in a rural village.
