Making Wallsend Bus Station as a hub to connectivity creates physiological connections
If as a tax payer I'm paying £40 an hour for a seured service to connect to a hub and a secured service is not connecting to a "integrated service hub" questions need to be asked
Atm to go from Jarrow Bus Station to Anywhere close to a work environment North of the Tyne like Silverlink or Cobalt its a 90+ min journey with a forced connection at Haymarket
When the metro Is off or the ferry is off we have created a link let's face it
Ferry is dependent on wind and water to disrupt it
Metro you just need leaves
Creating a hub barrier and link could increase passenger numbers too
Percy main residence would welcome increased Bus links?
See I disagree with Wallsend as it's too out the way. I do agree about the Cobalt comments imo the route going through the tunnel should follow the route below. I know it was a route that Nexus identified years ago but it never happened.

The route should be all about connecting the Metro lines which don't exist atm. Percy Main makes sense as it's the shortest point between there and Jarrow, it's simple to change on the Metro for those wanting to go to Wallsend, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay or wherever.
