Whilst at Gateshead Metro Centre with my mate Trevor Gordon having a coffee, I decided to grab a quick shot of the Coaster branding on a Go North East decker as this will soon be seen on Streetlites, Hybrid Gemini 6063 is seen on service 1A to Whitley Bay, this service will also cease to serve the Metro Centre from September.
1A/1B no longer serving the Metrocentre from September?

Edit:
Looks like the service might end at Gateshead would make sense just to have a 1 service - replacing the 1A/1B sequence, 1: Whitley Bay - Tynemouth, North Shields, Howdon, Wallsend, Byker, Newcastle, Gateshead - every 20 minutes = 9 PVR
Could merge the 1 onto the 57 instead? Don't see the point in sending buses across the Tyne for the sake of it to Gateshead and they're both every 20 minutes would certainly explain why the Citylink Mercedes are being painted all of a sudden and being sent to Sunderland.
