I'd imagine especially on match days Arriva carry standing loads between Clifton and Gosforth Park on the A1, sometimes up to 62MPH. I don't think any Arriva drivers would divert via Stannington, Plessey Checks, Snowy Owl and Wideopen unless it was a bit gusty.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd be far more wary of standing on a bus on a bumpy and twisty A/B road than I would be standing on a dual carriageway or motorway as they're a constant speed
