nobody is going to do park and ride because it’s just not appealing. It’s not York or Durham, it’s big enough to cope with traffic.
If you’re used to undercover brightly secure Eldon Sq, then Market St East is a 2nd rate drop off, it’s nowhere near St James for a matchday, it’s a canny hike for the old dears heading to M&S and at the moment it requires passing across 2 busy roads from Northumberland St
Yeah totally agreed tbh with you. You'll never promote people over imo not to mention that people going to Newcastle will actually want to buy stuff so hauling loads of shopping onto buses etc just isn't ideal in comparison to Durham and York which are both touristy places. Agreed with Market Street East aswell tbh it's a horrible place to stand aswell tbh.
On the discussion after which is going to go first the 62 between Sunderland and Easington imo an hourly bus route with no real reason to use it as it's a the weird bus and everyone will stick on the 60 or one of the other buses doing other parts of the routes (65 / 55 / X1).
