The odd time we’d pop over to Newcastle from there and the 100 would always be first choice. Non stop and didn’t faff on getting into Eldon Square so always felt quicker than the GNE service, though in reality probably not much in it. Cash payers as well.Given that most buses from central Newcastle and Gateshead to MetroCentre are from Go North East, there seems little point Stagecoach bothering with route 100 anymore.
Purely personal preference, I’d rather get on an empty bus and be guaranteed 4 seats together than an already loaded, potentially busy, 10 or whatever.
That said, I was surprised to see the 100 make a comeback.
Stagecoach can continue to serve MetroCentre on their orbital Newcastle links though.
