In a time of reduced driver resource and reduced passenger numbers it’s difficult to justify. If pre covid conditions ever return, I do think there’s a place for it though. I’d wager that stagecoach customers from the east end of Newcastle would rather travel by the 100 given the choice.
Can't imagine there's many customer's doing that route regularly though. There's nothing at the Metro Centre that Newcastle doesn't offer so for most it's just getting another bus for the sake of it. It's different to say Gateshead where it's 50/50 where you go when you account for the slog across Newcastle.
