I'm sure operators had a say in the layout of the bus gate/barriers when Gateshead Council installed them.
However, their concerns were different then. They didn't have the 25 getting stuck in traffic around the back of Aldi (or the Co-op as it was then).
The fact they're having to make these changes a year after introducing the 25, makes me think that they were never aware of the problems that exist behind Aldi and it was a new thing for them.
Not the sort of thing that's been there for years and has influenced the routing of services around Wrekenton for years.
