I believe it is all one pot but North Tyneside takes a massive chunk of it already. I know North Tyneside council put extra money in though, 400k I believe, to cover more. 

Just wouldn't seem fair to me if there's a massive pot and North Tyneside got 50% of it plus the Metro whereas somewhere like North Sunderland gets next to nothing (don't believe there's much subsidised up there) and doesn't have the Metro either when Sunderland CC put their share into Nexus.
