Actually you mention the appt... i was actually looking at it and a 56 was coming into gateshead so i thought ok, 10 minutes it will be here ( market street). After 10 no sign do looked again and there is the same bus heading south passed the civic centre. Thats when I asked the driver of the 57 and got the usual shrug when i asked if 56 was due. To top it off he sat fro at least 10 minutes so if he had contacted control they would have had 10 minutes to respond.... maybe saying as the punter to jump on your bus to gateshead and get a 56 from there?
