I visited Darlo a couple of weeks ago and the police had to come and escirt a nice young lady who tried to use her mum's bus pass and kicked off big time when it was confiscated, before we could head home. I haven't used the upper deck on one since being alone up there with someone out of his tree in a rather loud, disruptive way.
Public transport in the North East in general is a mess, seen there's been another attack on the North Tyneside loop on the Metro again last night.
They badly need to sort it out but I'm not sure what they can actually do, the Metro in particular is shockingly bad lately and it's not the usual spots either (Meadowwell, Tyne Dock etc).
Northumberland Park car park has been partially shut for over a year now since the local yobs decided to smash the glass on the stairwells, then they want people to P&R and that's the car park where you're meant to leave your car (for a cost aswell), no thanks.
