If the ABT does re-open, spare a thought for the people of Seghill as the train goes through!
Yeah totally agreed to be honest, then again we can't complain too much really we're not too much different to the likes of Ouston, Portobello, Dipton etc and I'd take what we've got over any of them. The X7 isn't too bad really it's just a shame North Tyneside and Newcastle CC like doing awful road schemes in the South Gosforth / Killingworth area which delay it constantly especially the Sandy Lane 'upgrade' which has made Gosforth Park worse than ever.
Mind it's a shame they could get a station to work at Seghill to be honest, guessing it was too much to double up more track to make it work though. There's definitely the demand imo.
