Apart from the 22 the other services main City Centre stop is in Pilgrim Street, which is also being closed. The alternative of Market Street East doesn't seem appealing to passengers, especially as it's now a Go North East "bus stand".

Putting more buses up and down Newgate Street past The Gate will cause delays not just to any new services using that route but also to existing services.
