You could live in say Walker and get the bus to Wallsend Bus Station to change for one bus to Jarrow or Amazon at Follingsby
I did suggest a few months ago Follingsby Amazon to Jarrow to Wallsend Freeman and Regent Centre
However when Amazon has compiled the survey they can see what the results say
The thing is though for somewhere like Walker it would be just as quick (once accounting for changes on a 30 minute service) going to Jarrow to get a bus to Monument and then change onto the Metro which are both every 12/15 minutes.
I could imagine it's the same for most places West of the A19. It's arguably people from the East of the A19 who will want a connection via the tunnel. If you pushed the route well I could imagine you could get a few punters South of the Tyne heading through the tunnel to Silverlink similar to many pensioners do to the Arnison. The cinema is much cheaper than Newcastle aswell and there's a Nando's and other stuff and you can get argubly everything you need with a Boots, Argos, M&S, Pound or Less, Halfords, Clothes Shops.
